Default How much to install gears?

I just got my motive 3.73 gears in the mail. I was just wondering where you guys got your gears installed at and how much did it cost you? Also how long does a normal install take?

Thanks

Make sure you also install a limited-slip with that!

I just called a few places and they quoted me at 300$ if I buy the install kit and everything so 300$ for labor seems to be the going rate I guess.

how bout the possibility of off-cut gear teeth? sure a poor install can cause whine but aftermarket gears are risky business (noise-wise) even for a good install.

different cars, different gears. its obvious there is something unique with the s197 that is making gear whine more common.
