I think theres a good shop called Houston Performance.

I take it you're not in Memphis anymore? If so, Dynospeed Racing is a great shop too.

Call around a get some quotes.
You could also try Slaters. I've had some small work done there and the prices weren't out of hand
The shop is located on 1960 in Atascocita (near Lake Houston) 281-446-9481
I've heard that the LT install was a pain so you could probably head over to one of the houston websites and find someone to help you, or direct you to a better shop.
for some houston sites, try:

You might have a hard time finding a place in Houston to do LT's. We have emissions here in h-town now.
Thanks guys, I don't want to try the install b/c its a pita. I'd rather pay, I don't know what I'm going to do about emissions though. I'll keep my Tennessee plates for as long as possible
Its okay, i had no problem gettin mine passed today98GTfromGA said:
BTW, after you contact a few of those places, do you mind posting in here and letting us know what each of them charge? I think all of the Houston area guys would really appreciate it

Im not talking about passing the test, but finding a legit shop to break the law. And for them to install them they will be breaking the law.
Your best bet would be to find a small non-commercail shop to do the install. Money talk's!!!
If nobody here will do 'em maybe I'll go to Baton Rouge or back to Memphis if I have to. I would do them myself but don't want to fool with dropping the k member. If everybody charges out the arse then maybe I will
Strictly = $$$
I would go with Slater's Mustangs. My buddy had his car tuned there, and another friend built there. They do good work.

Only if they were 50-state emission headers, but you can't use your stock midpipe with LT's.
And like I said find a non-commericail shop, they will do it. Call Firestone or NTB and see what they tell you. lol
I know I deal with shops everyday and have for the last 17 years. And Ive seen shops get popped by the D.O.T. a few times, min fines start at 5000.00.

I have a couple of guys I've had work on my car recently that do good work for a good price. He has a shop in Baytown he uses to work on his race car and also other car for extra cash. I'd imagine the most he would charge would be $350. I do know of a shop that wouldn't charge over $500 also.

Houston Performance has reasonable prices and they do good work. I had BBK ceramic longtubes, BBK x-pipe w/cats, and a MagnaFlow stainless steel catback system installed for around $1,800 about 2 1/2 years ago. No problems with or passing inspections since. The only issue is minimal ground clearance with the cats, since my car has been lowered about an inch and a half.
