Header install

[Runningmann]

Guys looking at a set of lg headers and hi flow catted x pipe and wonder what I’ll be looking at for an install price from a garage anyone done these

I had the ARH mid length headers installed. About 4 hours. X-pipe I did myself, 2 hours. This was 5 years ago, I think around $350. Check with Race Ready garage. They do excellent work and fair on their pricing.

I have the Kooks LT headers and catless xpipe. I also installed the xpipe myself which was maybe a couple hours and the headers installed by the same guys who did the tune. The time they charged me was 2 hours so it was $200 on the install. The tune cost was more but because I had a bunch more upgrades hard to say cost on the tune for just headers but I assume if your just tuning for the headers got to be only a few pulls on the dyno so probably another $300. If I were you install the xpipe at home then bring in the car to have headers installed and tuned.

Yep Dave at @RaceReadyGarageInc was doing C7 tuning in the early pioneering days when C7 tuning was still a mystery for many.

Been in touch with them and for sure gonna go there when I’m ready for the install of headers and the tune

Do they recommend changing plugs at this time

 

[tyho]

You don't need to change plugs. I added insulated spark plug wires with a thermal sleeve because of the heat. I think Accel makes some silicone thermal wires that may be better then the OEM ones. Speak with Dave about that.

I definitely recommend at least adding kevlar sleeve. A few days after my install starting getting misfire code which turned out to be a melted wire. I ended up just upgrading to lt4 plugs and the granatelli wires with kevlar sleeve.
