your acura dealer is a rip shop. Comptech themselves charge 240.

HOT

so how much is reasonable?? under $200??

HOT

oh one more thing...do i have to or better get a new "header to engine" gasket from dealer? cuz that's what my dealer told me to get before the installation.

$103.50 at "Acura of Pasadena" (Los Angeles) for installation. It's better to change gaskets too.

HOT

WOW ~!!!! That CHEAP??!!
my dealer is TOTAL Jackass.!
any1 from DC area that has Header????
I'm sure i'm not payin $280 for just installation. i dont feel like goin to local performance shop, cuz if they screw up something i have to deal w/ some troubles.
hey AC,,
did you get your header yet???

BNut

A reputable import shop in Houston, quoted me approximately $200 to install the comptech headers.

so i should pay under 200 for installation huh? oh and where can i buy a gasket for header?
i read a instruction and they said comptech got'em. how much r they anyway??

AC

No, I just found out that Comptech will be shipping them out tomorrow. However, I got a local performance shop to install them on Saturday. I hope they show up by then. They're charging me like $100 to install them. Call them up. They're called Vertex Motorsport in McLean, VA. Ask for Steven, the owner and tell him Alex with the TL referred you! Good Luck!
