I was just at Tischer Acura in Laurel, MD and they quoted me $130 for a CT header install. I thought that was AWESOME! I think I saw PAA charges $255.

They broke it down, all their work is at $65/hr. He said it would be a 2 hour install.

I'm excited now.

 

damn $65 an hour is cheap for a dealer! They charge $85 here.

 

He said they lowered their prices to stay competitive with other aftermarket shops.

If they were installing OBX headers he couldn't give me an exact quote because he says they've never fit as well as the Comptechs do so its a gamble as to how long it takes to install.

 

If I could get a price like that for install I'd buy the headers w/o question.

 

Weird. They charged me 130 for my OBX install. Maybe they just forgot they had done it? Who you talking to over there? Go with Lenny or Brandon.

 

Yep I was there today and talked with Lenny AND Brandon. I deal with Scott alot too altough he doesn't really do alot of Comptech business.

I guess your OBX had no problems fitting or they would have charged more.

Although they are charging me $245 to install the '03 headlights

 

wow that's cheap!!!!!

 

That is cheap... I paid $255 at Park Ave for the OBX. FYI, went on no problems.

 

i just got quoted at $120 for install of ct headers at garage kwai...

 

Like many here i got it on at PAA for $255. However from what i've been seeing thats a wee bit high.

 

it also depends which time with OBX headers !!

last time I checked the charges were as follows

OBX package

first time = $255

second time after incidental cracking = $150 for front header replacement and $175 for rear bank replacement

third time and everytime following you pay a flat rate of $150 for either front or rear header assembly

all prices include labor only since they wouldnt dare to expose themselves to a lawsuit for customers complaining of a cracked engine block

 

Who is that through? And who has had that many replacements done that it warrants a price schedule?

For me... if one thing goes wrong they're off and never on again....

 

that's retarded, do it yourself

 

I don't have the tools, etc to do it myself.

Pulling off the bumper... blah blah blah. Also I couldn't find instructions on how to do it.

 

Hey evilstorm when are you getting yours done. Garage Kwai quoted me the same thing. Hopefully be getting it done next week or so when the tax return check comes in.

 

$245 just to replace your headlights?? The only tools you need are a screwdriver and socket wrench. I had to remove my headlights twice because of fogging and did it all by myself. It's not that hard at all.

 

Yeah I know, I got rapped. Cost me more to put them in than it did to buy the damn things

 

hey with the CT headers...do you need it installed by an Acura dealer to be warrantied?? Or can i get it installed at some shop??

 

hah, im hoping sometime this year, spent my tax return already on sounds....

 

hey mr steve i am from NOVA and i am looking for a good dealer for installs, do u know the install prices for anything else like icebox, or springs

 

good to know who i have i can talk to...when i go there.

stop by Elkridge one day dude...show me your whip!!! I'm right of Rt 100.

 

I had my icebox installed by Tischer Acura for 90... and springs by No Limit in Fullerton, MD for 150.

 

Damn, seems like yall are getting ripped....probably cause its the dealer, i got quoted at $45....heh

 

for icebox install that is.......

 

Dunno... 130 for headers seemed pretty low for a dealer. Maybe it's case by case on the particular item being installed.

 

I was quoted $400 at a dealer. Needless to say I'm installing them myself.

 

Sweet $150? Where is this place and do you have their number?

That's about $100 less than Tischer would do it for.

 

now on all these instalation pricing, is this considering u buy the parts from the dealer, or can u bring in the stuff, being bought on your own, also do u get to keep your factory parts or no???

 

Bring your own stuff or buy it from them... same install price.

And of course you get to keep your factory parts. They are yours!
