first timers no,but when you have done a few,and know what's going driveway installs can be a breeze
ORIGINAL: randy78045

I would never attempt to do a driveway install on headers... it sounds a whole lot easier than it is... i would pay a shop to do it... hopefully not $500 though... [:-]

I'd say for a garage to take it off the street and install shorty headers (full job) it'd be close to $350-$400 depending on what the labor rate is, i dont have a flat rate manual handy at work so i'm guestimating...[&:]
