Default leaking exhaust manifold - labor rape?

I need the exhaust manifold gasket replaced on the pass side of my SC400. If I take it somewhere am I gonna get the shaft in labor cost?

According to my software here at work, (I picked a 95 s400) yes you are gonna feel it.
My labor rate is $72/hr and it came out to a little over 7 hours and $500. The drivers side was "only" just over 2 hours.
Who knows, the software has been off before, maybe it is now. I hope so for your sake.
Good luck
Dan

Good lord!!! DIY!!! Its not hard on the SC3, can't imagine it'd be much worse on the SC4 unless there is some serious spacial constraints.
