Wow. sorry to hear about that. I just came back from giving them a visit. they gave me a price of aleast a $1000 to install the long tubes Right now I don't know where to go. I don't think I could do it myself, and tybrne is booked until the end of the summer.

I'll give dean a call and see if he can fit me in. I knew 1000 is a rip off, But ACS charges 100 an hour I didn't think shops had rates that high.

How many miles on the engine?

Do you still have stock manifolds and y-pipe?

Is this your daily driver or can you leave it somewhere for a week.

My buddy who helped me install my headers said he might be interested in doing your headers for a fair price. The only problem is that if your bolts are all rusted out then he'll need a torch (he doesnt want to go that route though). So depending on your answers he might be interested. He teaches at that automotive school in Boston. He also used to be a mechanic at a Ford dealership.

The car has 60,xxx miles on her. she still has her stock manifolds and she is my daily driver I'd be grateful if he could help out. Nedyno gave me a price between 400 and 600. hopefully closer to the 400 If this could be done in a weekend then I could make arrangements since I usually have the weekend off from work.

He would charge you about 500 because he needs to use his uncle's shop and most likely use the torch. I'd go with NEDYNO in that case.
