8 hours @ $90 per hour. so that would depend on your hourly charge but i think the 8 hours is about average.

I bought my kooks LT headers from Brenspeend for $1300. I had a shop install them for $350.00 As far as gaining power you should gain maybe 10RWHP that is what I got when I got mine installed. Thosa manifolds are good up to 400RWHP. I have heard that they are good up to 500RWHP, but dont take my word on that, just what I heard.

I had the Kooks L/T's intalled along with high flow cats X pipe,3:73 gears,and Hurst shifter along with a custom tune on the Dyno.They charged me $2800.00 for everything.I gained 12Hp throughout the RPM range,and yes it made a hell of a difference,especially a Beast of a sound in the exaust....Now I have to get away from the stock tires,they break loose just as soon as I punch the gas peddle.Got some BFG KDW/NT's coming in a couple of days,as well as wheels for a stagger.285-40ZR-18's in the rear,and 235-50ZR-18's in the front.I will post pics after the install...

Long tube headers are one of the best mods you can do. I don't think another 'bolt-on' will give you the increase that they do. And it is a crucial mod in the long run if you ever plan on doing any kind of motor work (like heads, cams, etc) or go with some type of power adder. If you start making some major power than your stock manifolds will just choke everything. A better flowing exhaust is a crucial starting point for performance.
