x pipe not longtubes. x pipe is held on to each manifold by 2 bolts each side, and 2 bolts each side on the cats. its stupid easy to swap them out i would never pay 150$ to have someone else do it.
to do longtubes. you either need to unbolt the motor and lift it up, or drop the k member off the car. either way, its a good days job with a couple hands. so 500$ is actually very reasonable depending where you live. i believe people have posted that they have had to pay 1000$ for the labor....just depends where you live.

$500 is not a bad price if the shop is a good one and will do excellent work. I wouldn't let just anyone do this for me. You need to trust that the shop will pay attention to details as they re-install everything. A loose header bolt will make you crazy later since they are a hassle to get to. You also want to be sure they do a good job reassembling the front end components.
Bottom line... $500 is decent if they are a solid shop.
I paid $450 or $475 (I don't remember which) in NC to have mine installed.
