Muffler shops thrive on quick turn-around, and most of them hate or refuse to do headers.

If you drop your truck off as-is, with new headers in the box, I'd expect to pay at least $200 - and that'd be a repeat customer price. It could easily be double that.
yeah i was thinking this..ill talk to my naber and see if we can put it up on his lift and weld up a colector for me
