Anyone know of a decent place in DFW to get headers installed for under $200? Everyone is quoting 4-5 hours of work, when Comptech lists 2 hrs. Even at 60-75/hr that is excessive.

Thanks to all.

 

wow 4-5 hours huh...I guess they want to drive your car around for half of that time. Keep looking around because it shouldnt take any more than 2 hours, more like 1.5 hours.

 

the price in seattle is for header install is $120.00. keep looking for a better deal
b

 

it shouldnt take more than 45mins to 1hour to install a set of headers.... if i were you i would find a different mechanic

 

Try dealer-alternative.com. I was just informed of this place yesterday. I havent been there, but from the looks of the website, it seems pretty reliable. Anyway, let me know what they charge, I am in the process of getting headers myself, but will need someone to install.

 

maybe... VSV Performance, Elite Motorsports, Wasabi Racing, JoTech Racing. those're probably the biggest performance shops around. i haven't heard very pricey installs from any of them. they've all been really well priced. check around.

 

Thanks for the feedback. I will look at some of the mentioned locations, and postback with some prices.
So far it is all over $200, which is ridiculous, as you can get some headers for less than that.

 

I called JoTech Racing, quoted $400.00, they have installed headers before in both Acura's & Honda's. I have no reservations with their work, but the cost is a little high.
Wasabi Racing's from what I gather, no longer in business.
Havent called the other's yet. I will post same question on CL board (since I have a CL-S) Will update if I get more info.

 

Dealer alternative quoted 200-300. This is nuts. If there is someone who has pneumatic or impact equipment and needs to install, let me know, and I'll help, we can do both vehicles in an afternoon.
Additionally, thanks Brywood for the info, I called JoTech and they quoted me 400.

 

Anyone in DFW have suggestions? Or wnat to do a joint install? Or have a good mechanic that will do the install for ~$150?

 

Try Intercrew in Richardson. Jotech and Intercrew are two of the most reputable/experienced shops in DFW in my opinion, and Intercrew seems to be a little cheaper.

 

Thanks, I will give them a shout. I keep seeing threads where mechanics are installing in 1-2 hours. Jotech wanted $400, that is crazy. If they are that good, they should be quicker and able to charge less.

 

do it yourself .. i assure you its not hard

iots a bolt on mod nothing to hard.

 

I know this thread is a little old, but Intercrew quoted me 150 for the install.
