A simple question. What is the average cost for aftermarket installation? I'm considering doing it myself, but I don't want to mess anythin up.

It shouldn't take a shop more than an hour labor.. but I bet book time on the work is 2 hours plus.. at $90/hour.. that's $180+.

It's a very easy project to do yourself. Give it a shot~!

What exhaust system you getting? Keeping emissions? Removing? Full exhaust or just header ot factory?Make sure you get a can of pb blaster for your stock manifold and bolts.

I'm considering getting DC headers. that's all i'm doing for now. I have another threead on this site asking for suggestions . zerothread?id=278416

I'd probably get new bolts cuz I had too many problems with bolts when installing my intake.

I'm still not sure if I wanna do it myslef. I'll probably look at how-tos and tutorials and see if if looks feasible. I'm just worried about messing up my baby.

I got the obx headers off ebay. Now problems here yet. You'll have no problem installing. Just get pb blaster to spray your factory nuts
