    We charge I believe its 4-6 hours for labor last time I recalled.. Our labor rate is only $95 an hour though..

    Did the Fabspeed header install myself with a buddy. Took at least 8 hours for the removal and install w/blankets on my 4 post lift. Needed to be contortionists and creative with tools. But satisfying at the end of the day to do it ourselves. $500 is a steal.

    Same here only it took us 9 hours but that also included the supersport x-pipe and new exit pipes. I would not do another one. I would gladly pay an Inde the 5 bills.

    I have been qouted 10 hrs. labor by the dealer as well as 2 indies. I plan to do it myself....Agency Power headers in my case.
    PS I would pay $500 in a heart beat!

    I got quoted 600, left the car to do the job. Came back 2 days later for pickup to a 1200$ bill. Argued with owner of shop and ended up with a 940$ bill. still think it was too much but car sounds Great!

    The dealer has no magic formula that makes them any better than an independent shop. I've been to indies that have more Ferrari diagnostic software than the dealer!
