Like the title said. I bid 150 and ended up at like 125 or so.
I will report my impressions when I get them in.

Headers are easy, I put my X51 headers on in about an hour in my garage!
Only 2 bolts are a little hard to get to, that's what took up extra time!!

Agreed, the whole exhaust system is really quite simple. Did the whole exhaust R&R in 3.5 hrs on my back.

Neil look forward to your review...One thing though..I would stay away from the bolts and gaskets you get with the headers and go with the OEM stuff, in fact I would reuse the original bolts and stainless gasket from the old headers before using what I saw on Ebay.

I am most likely gonna have the guy across the street from my office do it for me at his shop. Unless Larry wants me to drive to his house.

Dave,
I will take your advice about the gaskets and bolts. I figured it was a no brainer for the cost. If I don't like them I will sell them. They do look like the suncoast/awe ones. I still want to do the cf dual intake too. Should I do that or the plenum?

If you are talking about the X51 intake I vote for that.

Neil, You are always welcome to my house. If we do the headers, however, you may need to provide me with your services for a long time.

The gaskets and bolts should be fine to reuse. I got new ones from sunset when I put my headers on, but the old ones were still usable.
