We have learned that it is a sizeable installation...10hrs is about right....cost should be somewhere in the $600-$700 range.
|
Only took my guy 5 hrs. He did say, however, that 10 hours is what's listed in Nissan's system.
|
a lot depends on how cooperative the bolts are
|
The shop that im talking to is telling me around 1000 or more, and it seemed a lil too steep when i heard him say that, so im trying to find out as much info here before i go to another shop... thanks for the help guys
|
Holy moly! $1000!!! That's rediculous! I would find another place if I were you...
|
Frankly $600 seems high to me, but then again I've never taken anything into a shop besides a transmission that needed a rebuild and I unbolted everything and brough them the tranny.
How mechanically inclined are you? If you don't have the confidence to do the work yourself then I wouldn't attempt a header install. If you see people on here saying 5-10 hours, find out what their hourly rate is and get a reputable shop and make sure you track how many hours they had the car. |

mybe the $1000 included the test pipes? but test pipes shouldnt take that long...should they??
|
Actually, $1000 doesn't sound that far out of the ballpark, depending on the area. The headers are expensive to install, there's just no way around it. It's a hard pill to swallow any time it costs more to install a part than the cost of the part itself!
|
The test pipes are easy, its the headers that are a bit of a pain to get to from what i know... i really have no time to do it myself, but even if i did i wouldn't... i'd rather give the trouble and headache to someone else if you know what i mean
im gonna check with a shop later today and ill post tomorrow what they say |
