Fitting the exhaust and cat should only take 30-45 min..... When I replaced mine with a HKS setup, itwas just onbolt old, bolt on new....

extractors I am told can be very fiddly, depends on where your getting them from and how well they match up to your car. Allow 2-3 hours..

will depend on what your mech charges per hour.... 3-4 x $70 ?

RPW extractors supposedly fit very well, as for time id say if the mechanic has experience with FTOs he could do it in under 2 hours its not a huge job

Extractors = approx. $550
High Flow Cat = approx. $250 (2.5 inch piping can't remember the brand)
Muffler and piping = approx. $500 (Redback muffler + 2.5 inch piping)

I've seen 5 had been fitted by the same person and only one set had been able to bolt on, the rest are real pain with minor modifications needed to the exhaust system.

Took 4 hours to get mine on... absolute ass. Thats also not including the straight grinding I had to do to get the flanges & ports flush.

Then again, I'd be ticked off if you got hit with more than 6 hours to install the lot.

Actually can't remember the answer to this question...........did the extractors come with the gasket? Or do you just use the existing gasket?
