Took me 5 good hours (there's more cutting, welding, fabricating to make them match up to the rest of the exhaust than you would think)

Thanks for the input,this should not be that complicated as it's the headers plus the mid section that bolts right up to the factory resonators..

Bolt on long tubes should take 3 hours max and that's with a break in the middle. These cars are very easy to work on honestly.

MBH headers, cats and mid pipes. All bolt on. No cutting or welding.

I think my guy took about 4 hours. I had new plugs installed at the same time.

If its all bolt on, then yes i agree with shardul and e55amgerocket, all should be done in around 3 hours labor.

That's more or less what I was thinking.. So going with the three hours what should I pay for the labor then?? I am also going to have plugs,motor mounts and tranny mount while I'm at it..
