Hey Guys

i need my PPE headers installed in calgary AB

everyone here wants a $1000+

anyone no anyone that can do it

Thanks

 

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?

 

Seems about right lol

 

more like a 4 hrs job if they have done it before. 6 max 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.

 

That's only a 2300 mile drive, one way. Haha

 

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.

 

***** my bad. I thought his title said AL like in Alabama.


Well I tried. hahahaha

 

Someone in this video did install PPE header for the F on the jackstand. Very nice work !
