Unless the shop wants you to buy headers from them, you will get a better deal though summit. There is a smog shop/performance shop that will install headers and such here in Fairfield. I know for a fact that they won't give you any greif about the headers either. It isn't a "hook up" but they do good work and like performance vehicles when they roll through.

They always leak ecspecially if your cars lowered plus the going rate for a shop to install headers is a grip my friends shop want like 500.00 for the install plus you buy the headers. I put some headers on a old girl friends SN95 shortie BBKs and they where a pain in the ass and they leaked constantly plus really there wasnt much to be felt power wise at least from what I could tell, but her car is an AODE car so you really cant tell with only 5-7 horses. <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
