around my area its $500 for just the install of headers and what another 300-500 for the headers depending on what you go with you could probably get some cam work done for that but everyone is different on what they want hope this helps

Patience is what your installer will need. You will need 4 mil elimanators, and one extension for the mil eliminators(for the drivers side front O2. You can buy them at RPM outlet.com. Cost is $58.00 per pair for the mils, and $38 for a pair of extension for the mils. Your installer will need a cherry pic, you need to lift the engine up 6 inches, unless you take your k-member off.
If you go long tube w/ MAC, get the prochamber for the longtubes, Make sure you order the right ones. There are no cats for the prochamber if you use the LT. I din't chk any others brands. It's possible there may be one if you have emissions issues in your state.
Mac LT will run $420(ceramic), I didn't chk the MAC( HT), IM sure it's in the $350 range.
The prochamber cost $200 w/out cats. Hope this helps.

I ran a 14.36 1/4 2.17 60ft last summer w/ a CAI,Flowmasters, and 3.73 gears. I was dissapointed. As you can see from below my post, I've added a ton more. I hope to be in the mid to hi 13's. I spin alot on my launch, so I got some BFG KD 315. I hope this gets me a better launch. I just put on headers and a midpipe last week. Sounds wicked and seems to have gotten me some decent low end torque. There was another car that was a coupe w/ almost the same mods as mine and was running 14.1's all day long( I think he had a CAI, RAM AIR, and 3.73. he had some sort of celinoid on his TB. Help him lauch more consistant on his RPM. Ill let you know when I hit the track.

Thanks that is good to know was his an auto also. where is a good place to get everything at . i dont want to go with rpmoutlet because i got a c&l total intake from them and they sent me the wrong year and then said that all i needed to send back was the mass air meter and the tube was the same, but then come to find out the 02 tube wont work because it doesnt have the air temperature sensor hole in it. so i am not planning to do business with them because it has cost me extra to get the right things.

All i got to say is longtubes are sweet. Defn sotp improvement and the thing pulls very hard. a lot harder than before, also with added torque! If your doing the longtubes get a new clutch if you would need it in the near future, save you lots of labor money.
