Default Install Quotes

I need help my fellow Lexus enthusiasts. I just got my Tanabe Touring Medallion exhaust, Tein CS v2, EDFC, and S&S headers. I just finished talking to my guy that helps me do my more "indepth" installs, and these are the quotes he's giving me:
exhaust:100
coils:140
EDFC:60/h at most 5 hours, estimating more in the range of 3
Headers: no quote until he can actually get a chance to look at the car.
Anyway I was just wondering how much was the average price of these installs on the forums. If the clublexus average is considerably lower I might just try to do them myself. I appreciate all the help in advance and hope ya'll can help me.

Those seem about right, headers are gonna be a little bit of $$$ though so be prepared for that, but overall I would say he is giving you a fair quote.

the exhaust is a little high in price, 100 for an hour or less of work, but he is giving you a fair price on everything else. enjoy the new mods

Header install will cost a shiny penny. I installed Long tubes on my Cobra and it took me the whole day. I took many breaks because I was so frustrated. $60/hr of labor sounds pretty fair. I think avg. rate in Cali is around $90/hr.

$100 for the exhaust isn't bad if it's the catback. I paid $50 just to have the rear section installed.

Prices seem resonable, haven't paid to do anything on my GS but from other experience the price seem right

It is pointless on doing exhaust only. You wanna do exhaust and headers at the same time. This way you'll save on time and labor at the same time
