Default Houston Headers Install Price

I'm thinking about getting a set of headers installed

My question is more so for Houston owners and the shops they have used and the prices they have paid

EVS Motorsports quoted me 850$, I'm trying to find out if this is reasonable, too low, or too high.

Thanks in advance for everyones' input

There's a guy named Vu who works at a dealership. He can do the install for less than that I think.

Ask him about that AWD conversion too while you're at it.

Do you have any contact information? Which dealership? Does he have a shop or is he mobile?

I also recommend Vu as well, and like Mahcah said his price is pretty good.

I have a 2011 ISF with headers and exhaust mods from 2014. Today, the car has gone into limp mode. The dealership suspects the ECU needs to be replaced, but they won't do any of the repairs because of the mods. Does anyone know a good person/location that we can take the car to? Does Vu do any repair work? Appreciate any input! Thanks

The problem is shipping my car to CA would cost me about 500$

Vu is legit for those who are in TX (near Houston)

He did my steering wheel !
