Default How much for installation?

Hey I was wondering individually how much with a good deal should these mods cost to install by a mechanic. Bassani mid-length headers, FRPP 3.73 Gears, Bassani mid pipe, Bassani Cat back, Tri-ax shifter, steeda cai, C&L Plenum, Accufab TB, Procharger w/3 core intercooler, 42 pound Fuel injectors, Tune for the new supercharger, Steeda UDP's? Thanks

I know that i recieved a quote for getting gears installed for $160. The catback, x-pipe, CAI, and the short throw shifter you can do yourself. They all just require some basic hand tool and some time. As far as a price for getting the exhaust done by a mecanic it shouldn't cost you more than $100 for the x-pipe and the catback. The headers I heard take a while to get put on and what I have heard is that they take 6-8 hours of labor to put on.

Gears were about $550 installed for me I believe including gears and other required parts and labor. I had the job done at a Mustang only performance and restoration shop, CJ Pony in Harrisburg. They are real pros there.

Catback prices should be from $40 - $80 and X Pipe perhaps a little more. $100 for both would be a fair price.

I would say about $120 for the midpipe and catback. About $200 or so for the gears if you know the right people. When I had long tube headers on my old stang it cost me $400. Most all of those things you can do yourself actually. But the tune will run about $100.

I spent 250 on the gear swap, and nothing on the x-pipe. I'll tell you though removing the H-pipe is alittle frustrating if you don't have the right tools. But removal and installation of the X-pipe is easy enough. Don't bend the flanges on the X-pipe or you can get a leak. The Tri ax is easy enough to do it with hand tools. Maybe total install time of 3 hrs max for the shifter and X-pipe

Do everything but the gears yourself. Not hard stuff to do, even for a chimp. The headers and supercharger just take time and patience, but can be put on. With the tune, and chip, you are prolly looking at about 500 bucks total. Good luck, glad you decided to go with a blower...

unless your mechaniclly retarded installation on everything but gears and the s/c should be really simple. the only thing you need is time and patience it might be a good idea to change your plugs to a higher grade like iridium when you change your fuel injectors since the injectors and plugs are in the same area. gears cost me 250 and i have no clue how much it would cost to have the exhaust done. the right side of our engines is really close to the strut tower and will make it really difficult to put in headers. but yeah good luck

actually if you are planning on supercharging your car you want to go with colder spark plugs...not the irridiums.

2 stages colder is what I have been recomended to run
