Installing Momentum Headers

AlexRaymond19

It made 322WHP with the stock cats on... They did not dyno it with the test pipes on like i requested... Also they hit me with a bill of 3500 bucks.... I am so pissed right now i can't even begin to think about what i am going to do about it. Or what i can do about it even. I basically told the guy i wanted him to make the stock cats fit on there because i was cheap and did not want to buy new ones. You would think after saying that, that he would tell me up front that it would cost more. 25 hours of labor at 95/hour.... Plus the tuning and install of swift springs and camber arms

I don't get it. Didn't you install the headers yourself? what was the 25 hours for, making the momentum headers fit with 370Z cats (ie change the flanges)?

Also I agree, springs and camber arms if you have a lift, an impact wrench and spring compressors should take 4 hours max.

They said they could mod my stock cats to fit for cheaper than it would cost to buy new ones... Chanrged me 5 hours for that, and 13 hours to install springs and set up the suspension. I complained about it it, and theyu dropped it from 25 hours to 18 hours. I think the whole thing should have only taken 10 hours max. But i really have no choice but to pay at this point... They have my car until i do

Bro I'm lost here... What exactly got done to your car that took 25 hours? How long was your car there till it was done?

Most shops are only open 8-5pm and unless your car is the only car they are working on. I doubt it takes that long.

That's why you always get a solid estimate/quote in writing. I could do all those things without a lift in less hours.

Just because the shop has novice mechanics and it took them longer than what the manual says they shouldn't had charged that much.

Why are you on stock cats? I may have missed it but I thought you put on the Z1 test pipes when you put the headers on.

You can used stock DE cats for $100......Springs and camber take 4 hours with the tools they have at their disposal. IF you don't have Uprev and you paid for the program and the tune then $850ish. To change the cat flanges looks like they charged you for a damn Meistershaft exhaust....
