Yeah I was figuring nearly $2000 with labor on the installation. Not exactly a cheap mod.
Do it yourself! Not that difficult if you read the instructions.

I just totaled up all my non FI mods that I'd like to do. Not including new tires I'm at nearly 4,000 bucks.

My jaw is somewhere under the desk here.

who ever asked about the CAI voiding the warranty, it doesnt... at least, it shouldnt. some dealerships will try to say it will, but really... they are just being childish...

Here's the short list. I already have a CAI/Tune and Steeda non adjustable LCAs (not installed yet).

Kooks LT Headers + high flow catted H pipe - $1300
Steeda CMDP - $300
Prothane Motor Mounts - $150
Steeda Adjustable Panhard Bar - $160
Steeda Panhard Bar Brace - $80
Hood Struts - $100
Spydershaft - $550
MGW STS - $300

After putting in a supercharger I'd be up to 10,000 without trying to hard. Wow.

It's hard to beat brenspeed. The thing I like about them is, they test most everything they sell. But $1300.00 + labor OUCH!!!!! The only hard part about doing a header install is the stock bolts. There usually frozen, rusted, and a TOTAL BEAR to remove!!!!

I've never so much as changed oil. The most I've done so far is to do most of my CAI/Tune install, axle backs, and changed a flat tire. So LT headers is probably going to be over my head and not worth the headache. I will probably pay to have that done professionally.

If you have a garage to work in and a few common hand tools, do the install yourself. You will save a bunch of money on labor, then the supercharger wont be that far off. Read the directions about 10 times before you start, and if you have any hang ups, come back to the internet. It always makes me feel better about a project when i do as much as possible myself. jt

I paid 350 for my ARH LT install.....it would take me 10 hrs probably to install the LTs and motor mounts on my back with jackstands......that was 350 well spent!

Also 300 for CMCV.....get the economy plates.....no reason to get the billet ****
