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
