What is the average price for labor for installing shorty headers on a 2003 GT? Do you have to lift up the motor to install them?

They are a ***** to install though!
Probaly 300-500 dollars depending on
the shop and yes you have to lift the
motor up to install them because the
space is tight.Just look around in your
area for a good shop to install them
that knows what they are doing.
What headers did you get? Good Luck

I think shorty headers on a N/A mustang is a huge waste!

my local shop quoted me $500 for long tubes. It was a full eight hour day to install them.

With LT and shorties nearly the same instll price get the LTs.

Agreed that shorties are not worth the labor. Get midlengths or LT's. Labor is $240, btw
