$200 is what I paid to have them installed by my dealer. I think it's a pretty good price.

$200 is what an acura dealer asks... you could save $100 by going to reputable indpendent Honda/Acura shop.

$200 is a pretty good price. PAA is $220. I paid $250 at my Acura dealership. Not too bad.

I honestly don't think I'd trust any of the independent shops down south. Most people down here do every thing half-assed, I'd check with Rick Case, it's not that far of a drive if you think about it, and then you can really test out the headers on the Turnpike on the way back south.

I paid a total of $400 for the header and the front and rear sway bars. I believe the break down was 250 for header and 150 for sway.
