Uppipe / Header Instalation

Hey I-Club,
I was looking for a place that will install an HSK Uppipe and borla headers. Price-wise, what am I looking at for them both? And for who's had them installed, would you recommend having them professionally installed or just a DIY?


Thanks,
Brett

I'd contact one of the local shops and find out. Generally the hourly going rate is about $100-110/hr. In your area there's GST and Speed Element, but I'd also recommend LIC Motorsports out in Novato

just find someone who's done it before to have them help you out. it's not hard, just time consuming.



i think it can be done in 2-3 hours in a garage with the proper tools

Headers on a 2.0? Does that cause turbo lag? I hear it is less of an issue with the 2.5L.

do it yourself. super easy. make sure you get all new gaskets.
pm me if you need help.
you might want to look into getting the headers either ceramic coated or wrapped before you install. also have you done the downpipe already?
