Headers and broken back!

wow, I feel your pain. a few years ago, I broke my back and had to have 3 metal rods and 4 screws put in. I didnt work on any cars for a while.

Your best bet is to call around to all the local exhaust shops and performance shops in your area. If you can try and visit them in person.

When visiting take a look around, and look at the cars that they are already working on, and look at the employees, and the clenliness of the shop.

It is often best to choose a shop somewhere in the middle of the cost range. Just for referance my shop charged $65.00 an hour for installs, and $115.00 an hour for fabrication.

Its sad but exhaust work is expensive, especially Long tubes. It's gonna run several hundred bux for the install.

yeah unless u can find a fellow stanger to come and throw them on for you for a cheap price, or maybe free.who knows. but it would prolly be better to a friend help or do the install than to pay them to do it.

my back feels like its broken after installing the shorties. If I were up there or visa versa I would be down to help you out.

You just might be in luck if you are patient.

Do you drive your stang daily, or can it be down for a weekend?

I am moving to Washington in Mid October, and would be happy to aid you in your install. Done it a few times actually. You can check out the Cardomain page in my sig. I just did LTs and H on my Cobra, and am on to a side exhaust now.

Downside is I will be living in Port Orchard. Not sure how far that is from Auburn. Let me know. As long as all the parts are new, no big issue. Just time consuming. If we start early in the morning, it could be done in the early evening I am sure. I always plan on twice as much time when working on a stang because of past experiences. Things don't always go perfect.
