How much $$$ for header job ?

[Ashman333]

Looking to get some headers for my camaro finally but was wondering how much money for the whole set up aka whatever is needed gaskets ect ect ect

Talk to don. I'm sure he could give you a install price and a tune.

Call the shop during the week but you probably have to figure out what headers first. His price will also include a tune which you desprately need with an aftermarket maf

^ +1 that and having an A4 a tune is a must. most of us will tell you go with Stainless headers ARH, QTP, Kooks, or dynatech all good or lower cost with Pacesetter (ceramic coat) but that sets the starting $. living in the New England area we see way to much crap weather to warrant anything less than Stainless (I went ceramic only regret knowing I'll have to replace them some day)

A good header is always $1000 - $1500. You can buy the cheap headers but they ussually last 2-3 years.

The car would need to be tuned to pass emissions and to have it run the way it should.

We put together packages depending on whats needed. All our headers delete the AIR/EGR system with no emission problems and cleans up the engine bay.

That sounds pretty damn awesome to me haha - can't wait expect my shit box there in no time, i'd probably need a package deal - if you want to PM me i can give you more details if needed

[Slowhawk]

We'll talk about it sometime. There are lots of questions for ya.

I might even include the new TSP stainless headers in my packages. They cost almost 1/2 as much as ARH's and seemed like a decent header when I saw them at PRI.

[DemonWithin99]

I was thinking about those myself. if you include them in package deals I may need to save for a whole top end job.... :)

^agreed, what are we lookin at for those headers with y pipe (catless) and install/tune? roughly...

I have some mac mids now because im on a budget, but if the price is right id change.

Stall converter first.

TSP header, no cats, with new gm gaskets,ngk plugs , installed/tuned - $1300+ tax

add $200 for catted Y-pipe.

GM wires -$65 if needed.

That is an installed price that ARH headers alone cost that much.

[LSX-Nation]

I was going to get just a tune from you in the spring but with that price it would make more sense to do the header package with the tune...

Happy to say Don has sold me on his header deal, couldn't resist, and I'm very proud with it can't wait to see/hear the finished product ::party2:
I'll post pics/videos as soon as he sets me up !


Thanks don

slowhawk do you work on and tune lt1 as well or just ls1

[frankzlt1]

Just ls engines lt1s are taboo to him lol.

[badbusa1300]

lol

Just LT1 guy's don't want to pay me hourly to do it. Can easilly be over $1k to tune them.

Thats why we stopped.

dons exhaust work is great i couldnt be happier with the end result.... unforunately i think i went deaf for a couple weeks after i had someone rev it up so i could hear it from behind......but after the ringing stopped i was very very happy... definately worth every penny with the tune

[frankzlt1]

He definitely knows how to do some awesome work. You want it done right the first time.
