That is how much they quote me too, but they have to make money some how. It is suppose to be only a 2 hour job and thus, they charge $100/hour for labor.

Header install price

The shop I used charged me $55 an hr. for a 4 hr. job. I don't know what the book labor charge is through an Acura dealership but I'm guessing most shops do a comparison before actually quoting a price. OBX headers, and they were impressed and wanted to know where I got them.

I and Mike did it yourself. Pain in the a** to say the least. If you want a pro to do it for you, give me a call...info on a few posts above. (no, not me, an Acura tech...I will never install TL/CL header again..damn...what a pain!!)

I've had all my work done at Carboys with ZERO problems and nothing but praise for Jackie and the rest of the Carboy crew.

I've had them install my Pulleys ($60-80), Headers (Can't remember but somwhere b/w $200-$250), Exhaust ($45), Sways($80-100), Springs($120) and Shocks($120).

I will be going back there when I'm ready to have the S/C installed.
