I was just wondering what the typical cost of a shop installing LT headers would be. I think I need more power now and that would be next after a Lid and Catback. Ohio doesn't have visual inspection but they are going from the sniffer test/treadmill to the PCM check. Longtubes would be a logical next step before Cam or Heads.

You're looking at $300-500. Best bet is to find a really nice friend and do it yourself. Drink some beer, make a day of it.

Or....get in touch w/some local f-body people or a club and see who in the area is doing this kind of stuff on the side.

Just do it yourself, its 100x easier than it is on an LT1 car. I've had both with longtubes, so I am saying that from experience.

Good point. I'm thinking $100, case of beer & large pizza = headers done and a new friend made
