It really depends where you go and how they do it. I had to pay 200 bucks at 100 per hour. So it took them 2 hours to do mine. Should have done it myself though.

I'd rather have a shop do mine just in case a bolt breaks off.

but a tune specific tune that includes the shorty headers wont hurt, when I got my tune my whole exhaust sounded better and I had better throttle response.

Around how much does it cost to get a set of JBA shorties installed?
Brenspeed quoted me $700. Seems way high. I broke me clavicle and am out of commision from wrenching for another month at least. I may find someone else that will do it cheaper.

What type of shop was that?
