Average install price for HFC?

TonyBPD · 11-13-2010, 08:59 AM

I think I'm going to purchase some HFC's in the near future and was wondering the price you guys are paying for installation. Any info would be appreciated!

it depend where you live and who ur going to deal with,

I personally would always recommend doing it yourself, but the average price that I have seen here is anywhere from $50 to $100. It can be higher if the installer runs into issues removing the header to cat bolts though.

If they know about the demon bolt, they will charge you more. Use a 6 point socket if you're going to do it yourself and not a 12 point. I used a 12 point because I didnt have a 6 point. Let's just say I learn my lesson, an expensive lesson.

My tools consist of a small socket set and a bunch of screwdrivers. I will not be doing the install.

So $285 for the install would be considered high I assume?

For them not knowing about the demon bolt-yes. lol

Yes, that is outrageously high. Even if they were also doing the exhaust that would be high.

How long does it take?? X what does the shop charge per hour?? = cost of install.

TonyBPD · 11-13-2010, 02:19 PM

That was a price I got from a popular import performance shop. I will keep shopping around.

Not sure how far south you are, but there is a sposnor here that you may want to consider. I think it was AZP Installs or something. Their quotes are very fair.

TonyBPD · 11-13-2010, 02:39 PM

I'm pretty far south but I will definitely check them out. I don't have a problem driving 2 hours if the price was right.

Try Akuma, they are usually pretty fair.

I paid $135.

I think $100-$150 would be a fair price. Should be about 1-2 hours of labor. Took the shop I used about 1.5 hours.
