so my mechanic (who gives me deals on everything I get him to do) offered to do my header install for 200 dollars in labor. I don't have the time to do it really. do you think this is a good deal and is there anything aside from plugs and wire I would want done at the same time?

Definately a good deal. I was quoted 300 labor myself.

Sounds more than fair. Make sure you give him proper gaskets, bolts, etc. and some lock tight. Don't want to sidestep at this point.

well I am taking yall's advice and getting him to do it. I'm buying him a couple supplies he uses all the time for the good deal. I'll end up paying him 250 in total. he's really nice to me I mean heck he changed out my differential and rear axles for 600 bucks including parts. he gives me great deals when I pay him cash. I should have the long tubes on by friday night though so hold your breath for some open header sound clips. I'll get a couple with the lm1 on next monday or tuesday too.
