All the dealers in my area quoted me about the same on my header install - $1000 to $1250 and they quoted about the same amount of time from the "book". I checked with 3 muffler shops who quoted $200 - $350. I went with one with an excellent reputation who charged $300. They had done TRD header installs on Tundras before and knew exactly what was involved. I dropped the truck off at 8am and picked it up at 11am. They had the truck for 3 hrs and completed the job and I haven't had any problem and it's been 4 years now. The owner told me it normally takes about 2.5 hrs for the TRD header install on a V8 Tundra but they quoted 3 hrs just to give themselves a little cushion. JBA headers are a little easier to install than TRD headers since no welding is required and the tubes are shorter so they are a little easier to install. The book time of 11 hrs is a joke, but it's your money - spend it any way you like.
