I go to a place called mexico mufflers, and they told my bro 300 to install springs. I got them down to 100 bucks lol although it is hard to communicate.
LOL!! $100?! That's good haggling!! I'm going to another place today and I'll see if they'll work with me on the price. I also need my res x installed so hopefully I can get them to cut me a deal.

That's a good idea, man. I might do that. I know he said not too long ago that he was going to be up in the PC/Lynn Haven area sometime soon and we were discussing me possibly getting IPF tuned. Thanks for the heads up!

Okay guys. Got a new quote to install the headers for $274 this time. I'm going to jump on it. Way cheaper than before.

Also PoorMansCamaro....I did ask their hourly rate for labor this time.

That's more like it . $274 is actually a pretty good deal

I would call the place that quoted you $460 and tell them thank you for giving you a vastly overpriced quote for header install, because now you've found a reputable shop that isn't over charging, and tell them your new quote.

I like Shock top or Blue moon with a slice of orange man!! LOL!
I live north of Pensacola and I'm off for a whole month. If you don't get this installed by June 10th when I get back home. Let me know and I'll drop the wife and kid off by the shopping mall and help you out. My bestfriend and I did my SLP LT headers on my SS in about 2-3 hrs with floor jacks and stands. We were not rushing either. All you need is a socket set really. The torque wrench is a good way but you can tell around 18ft-lbs and it don't take much. But it's really not hard and I wouldn't mind as I come that way anyways on nice sunny days. I keep a tool set in the trunk that would complete it all. But I would recommend a nice Craftsman set in the truck just incase for future. You never know when you may need it.

Dude, I totally would have bought TWO cases of each....and even drove out west to see you....and I still would have saved money!!!!! Hahaha. That would've been fun!!!

Thanks a ton for the offer but I ended up going to a different shop and paid $274 for the install header. I was happy as it was way less than paying $460!!! I got them installed this past Monday.

You going to be at any of the upcoming ECC cruises???

Thanks again for the offer. Maybe when I get another set of lowering springs.... I was once quoted $600 for install...so I sold them! LOL.

Good luck man! I haven't found a single shop in my area willing to install headers. Small towns suck
