wow.. that seems really low. I was under the impression, simple exhaust installation is somewhere around $200-250. Then HFC = extra $$, G3 (which require you to take off front bumper = $$$.

Isn't oil cooler install is a 3.5 hours at the dealer? I think dealer charges $500 just for oil cooler install.

If I were to take a good educated guess (assuming you're not getting it done at the dealer), I'd say at least $1000 - $1200. I could be wrong....

AK seems about right, the cats are a PIA my mechanic had a hell of a time getting the stock cats off and he's pretty proficient and the oil cooler and intake require the bumper to come off

i say jus install the stillen gen 3 intakes and oil cooler by urself jus follow the diy section its farely easy..... the catback can be installed also by you but its more hard work.... BUT it can be done..... the cats however i suggest having someone install it i really suggest using a lift.... and that way u only pay like 200 and u save more money right?

its alright man u need basic tools for the install jus pick up a tool box set from craftsmen.... itll probably be like a hundred some.... and the best part u can use it for future projects.... for making the cats an easier job.... i suggest making friends with someone with a lift honestly its pretty easy to do it EXCEPT... the one bolt thats on both cats on the top... its hard because u will need a freaking long extension and the only way to get to it is through the top portion of the motor... the other two bolts on both cats that hold them are fairly easy to crack loose.... i suggest using pb blaster to break the bolts loose but other than that its completely doable.... and if u find a lift? installing the cat back will be a walk in the park i installed my catback by myself with no lift.... took me 2.5 hours

When i first got my intakes the dealership said it would cost $475 to install them...4.5hr of labour, i said screw that and installed him in 1hr.

Serious man, it doesnt take much to install that stuff. I have a DYI posted for the G3's and im sure theres plenty of other DIY for the other parts. I installed header, downpipe and exhaust on my old car with the following tools.

1. Jack
2. Stands
3. 10mm box end wrench
4. 10 and 12mm sockets
5. rachet.

Doing this work isnt hard and it allows you to feel better when you are done because you did the work...and of course saved a hell of alot of money

I agree with AK....your looking at around 1k. Unless you have a mechanic you've been going to and will cut you a deal. ( Luckily for me my mechanic I've been going to put on my HFC's, exhaust, headlight leds, front aero deflector, and intake for $275 But than again...it was summer and I didn't have much clothes on at the time LOL BUT..good luck...ask around, it wont hurt. Just ask for an estimate
