Default Headers install quote

A shop here in houston quoted me 1900 to install headers on the F?!? Someone please tell me this is overpriced! Anybody from houston know of a shop that has installed headers on an isf before? Thanks for any input.

Im not in Texas but i had my PPE header installed in my IS350 for $300 shouldnt be any harder in the IS-F. For $1900 is way out of price range.

I had mine installed for 800.00. I searched this forum for header install and could not be happier with the install ! Fabshopmiami Doug Arditti.
FYI Try and find someone that is experienced with the install on a IS-F.

Good afternoon,

This sikky headers are about $1300 for the ISF.

Installation labor is about $1900 including removing and reinstalling the motor.

Total with sales tax out the door for parts and labor is about $3300.

Thanks,

Removing and reinstalling the motor isn't necessary, that's where all the hours of labors are probably being charged.

Removing and Reinstalling the Motor

This guy doesn't know what he's doing. The sub frame needs to be removed to gain access to the underside of the engine. The motor stays put. Install should be in the $800. to $1200 range.

go look for another shop.. also i would suggest printing the instruction from Sikky and bring it with you so the quote can be a little more acurate.
