Yes, it does depend on where you get them from, what brand, coating or no coating, lt's or shorties.

For ex: I paid $650 dollars for MAC LT's & MAC Pro-Chamber w/ extended o2 sensors.

Also, why dont you install this stuff yourself. A shop is going to rape you to install all of this stuff... Its not that hard...really.

yea u have to agree just do it yourself. I havent done work on any cars besides changing an alt. and rewiring a stereo until i got my stang. I have done all the bolt ons you are talking about except the headers. And i can see if i get unequa length shorties it should be cake. All the rest was real easy to do. The only prob i had was with the h pipe or inyour case x pipe) when i was trying to break the bolts that connect it to the headers. Just had to use some of that penetrating rust remover oil on it and BAM slipped right off! Good luck man!

Seriously, its not even worth the money if you are going to have to pay someone to install all of it. Just do it yourself.... take your time and its literally that simply. And if you have ANY questions along the way... you know where to find us

i would go intake first, if you wanna be able to do it yourself. Cold air, MAF throttlebody all easy to do and you should notice a considerale gain. Then move on to the exhaust, headers, x pipe, cat back.
