Look for a price between 100 and 200 for install. It takes about an hour or so. The hardest part is squeezing it behind the engine and then it's pretty much standard procedure from there. You'll love it!

I did mine in about 2 hours. My biggest problem was getting the O2 sensor out of the old manifold without damaging it. I finally used an 18" pipe wrench with the manifold in a vice. BTW you should get a Progress rear sway bar to go with the Teins and Tokicos. Then you'll have the same mods as mine. Oh, and a DC Sports strut bar (I got mine cheap with the header, it's mostly for looks).
