Hey guys,
I'm thinking about adding Comptech Headers to my car. I called the only dealership within 80 miles and they said they don't install headers. So I have a few questions:

1.) Where else can I get them installed?
2.) Do I need to get new header to engine gaskets?
3.) Will my dealer have these gaskets even though they don't install headers?
4.) What's a fair price for the installation and gaskets?

 

1) Try a local independent shop, maybe even a muffler shop.
2) New gaskets are not required but I put new ones on just to be safe (same with my O2 sensors).
3) The dealer will have them (Honda p/n 18115-P8E-A01), I think they were ~$14 each.
4) You'll just have to price it out, different shops charge different prices.

 

You can expect to pay 2-3 hrs labor. Do you already have the headers? You can PM for a good source.

 

I would get new gaskets to be on the safe side. I picked mine up from the dealer. FYI, I put them on myself and it took all day but I saved ~$200-300 in labor.

 

$150 labor for me, no new gaskets.

 

Cost me a 12 pack of Mich Light. We used the existing gaskets. Had them on for about 18 months with no problems.

 

Thanks everyone! I found a shop that's quoted me $60 per hour for 2-3 hours of labor. They specialize in imports so I'm hoping they know what they're doing. Header installation isn't too hard or complicated, is it? I hope not

 

Its not hard at all if you have a lift and some air tools, but thats why you have to pay someone sometimes.
