Based on the currency exchange rate (if you're paying in CAD) that's about the going rate in the U.S. ($750)

I had the Performance shop in Lethbridge do mine for me. They did a good job, no leaks, no codes. At least they have now done 1 before if you want someone who has done it previously... Otherwise if someone has done it before in Calgary, I would say $1000+ is a good price. I paid more... worth it so I didn't have to go to Calgary.

Don't forget it's an 8+ hour job so when you factor in around $120-140 per hour or more for shop time...

Just consider yourselves lucky!

No shop or person here in the UK has to my knowledge installed a set of aftermarket headers to an IS-F before!

God only knows what it'll cost me when I get round to buying mine!

If it is 8hrs labour, $1K CAD seems pretty fair really?

I got a guy in NC that can do it for $600. He is a master Tech for Lexus. You would have to drive up here though.

Wanted to throw it out there if you cant find anything your way.

Yeah, but in an IS F, it'll only feel like 1K miles

Why so expensive? Are they really that hard to install yourself?

I don't think it's a diy garage type of job.

Some of us wouldn't hesitate, but I doubt we are many on this forum.

I had to drop the subframe on my Supra to fix a leaking #1 oil pan, so I have no fear of dropping a subframe as much as necessary. I also have the right kind of tools to be able to do jobs like this without dropping the subframe if it is at all possible.

I built a 700hp twin turbo G35 in my garage with no lift or air tools... If you have some tools, time and patience anything is possible but I don't think it's an easy Sunday afternoon kind of job. They say 6-8hrs with a lift so I would fully expect 8hrs your first time +working off your back with the car on jack stands.

New meaning to a garage build.
