for install? lt headers alone are like $500. so expect prolly around ~$600-625ish for both. I installed my own so I am not sure but those are prices I have heard.

depends where you live I guess.....for me in the SF Bay you can't a mechanic that works for less that $80-100 an hour so that could get very expensive. Just call around to different shops and get quotes.

your looking at $600 just for headers...I'm looking at $700 for both. Save some money and do it yourself (if u have any mechanic experience).

I found a place that does it for $450. and 79.95 for the x-pipe, do the xpipe yourslef , its very easy but annoying. The headers i would have someone else do, you gotta take a lot of stuff off and crap. if you ask me headers really arent worth it. But thats my opinion

The 20 rwhp and torque throughout the ENTIRE powerband isnt worth it? Dont get me wrong, its no KB, but its far from not worth it.

I just don't thinks it's worth the price of install, but if you install it yourslef then yeah it's definately worth it. My advice to you Whitepony research the heck out of installing the headers and really make sure you know what you are doing and do it yourself. It's much better when you do it yourself.

$400 here for the LT's. As for the xpipe, do it yourself. Here's a hint, put the male end into the female end and tighten.

Well Im a first timer, so I just decided to get my exhaust installed this time, and from now on, with all my other mods, Im going to be a DIY guy.

I am getting LTs, X, and Catback installed for $360. Im in NJ, and from what Ive been hearing, I STOLE this labor job, lol. I hate paying almost 400 for install, I would die if I had to pay $600+ =(
