Average install price for HFC?
 

I think I'm going to purchase some HFC's in the near future and was wondering the price you guys are paying for installation. Any info would be appreciated!

you wont regret it :D

it depend where you live and who ur going to deal with,

i payed 55$ for test pipes installation.

I personally would always recommend doing it yourself, but the average price that I have seen here is anywhere from $50 to $100. It can be higher if the installer runs into issues removing the header to cat bolts though.

If they know about the demon bolt, they will charge you more. Use a 6 point socket if you're going to do it yourself and not a 12 point. I used a 12 point because I didnt have a 6 point. Let's just say I learn my lesson, an expensive lesson.

My tools consist of a small socket set and a bunch of screwdrivers. I will not be doing the install.

So $285 for the install would be considered high I assume?

For them not knowing about the demon bolt-yes. lol

Yes, that is outrageously high. Even if they were also doing the exhaust that would be high.

How long does it take?? X what does the shop charge per hour?? = cost of install.

That was a price I got from a popular import performance shop. I will keep shopping around.

Not sure how far south you are, but there is a sposnor here that you may want to consider. I think it was AZP Installs or something. Their quotes are very fair.

I'm pretty far south but I will definitely check them out. I don't have a problem driving 2 hours if the price was right.

:eek::eek: wow!!! yeah thats hella expensive, i paid $55 for people who know what they are doing,

Around here it is common for up to 3 hours labor to be charged..

Try Akuma, they are usually pretty fair.

I paid $135.

I think $100-$150 would be a fair price. Should be about 1-2 hours of labor. Took the shop I used about 1.5 hours.

If you're set on not doing it yourself then disregard my post. Otherwise, fifty dollars in tools (that you can keep for life) and a few hours time will get the job done. A lot of people will tell you about the demon bolt and the difficulty involved but in all honesty if you start with the right tools from the get-go you won't have any issues.

I think it depends on whether or not it was cross-threaded from the factory. Seems that a good number of them are.

Mine were certainly in bad form but if you use an impact swivel, impact socket, 1/2" ratchet with extensions, and 4 ft breaker bar they'll come right out.

Lots of noise and a lot of tugging on the bar, but no broken equipment or sheared bolts.

Just got another quote - 3hrs. @ $90 and hour. Maybe its an east coast thing.

damn seems high...i paid $40..took them about an hour..
