He did it for $250 bucks(he though 300 would have been fair, but I got the co worker discount), word of the wise, prepare for o2 sensors, the thread ripped right off them and there is only 20k on my car, ans he soaked them in blaster overnight and used some heat, no one in the shop was expecting that, myself included, we pull sensors out of high mileage honda exhausts all day long.

The thread bungs ripped off both of my OEM manifolds too....what a joke. They are basically just spot welded on.
