2 MISC HP tuner credits for LLT 49.00 98.00T
SHOP MISC Misc. shop supplies (zip ties, brake clean, nuts, bolts, etc)
and hazardous fluid removal
1 30.00 30.00T
LABOR RATE Install headers, exhaust system, and front swaybar with new
links -- This is a only an estimate since we have never
installed a set of headers on a 2010-2011 V6 Camaro, but I
suspect there will not be any modifications needed. I will
only charge you what it takes us to do it, so I'm just guessing.

Not all shops charge the same, some charge by the hour and others by the pulls then a extra cost for tweaks. The HPT credits is a extra cost but that's dependent on tuner also how they charge. My buddy owns is own shop and uses HPT so I getting a good rate. But from what I have been told by other locals the highest I've gotten was $450. My tuner does all his tunes on the streets for actuate real world tuning and not having to deal with knock sensors as much. I think personally that $650 + credits is a lot. Also you have to look at how many tuners are in your area, if not many they will charge whatever. Living in Atlanta I have a endless amount of tuners that use HPT which causes price competition. But regardless of price my tuner / buddy is getting my money because I know his work is amazing.
