It doesn't take long if you know what you're doing. With the right tools, probably 45min to one hour. It depends on the labour rate/hr... I think general labour rates at automotive shops are like 75-85bucks/hr. Who's installing it for you in Sudsbury?

I paid Midas $45 to install mine. He was finished in under 45 mins!

is 63 something too much? that's what i got charged, it was $50 labour, 2.25 for a gasket seal thing, and then tax obviously. Too much?

I'd say you didn't pay too much, looks like you got charged for an hours labour and the gasket. Which gasket did you need? When i did my MBRP it came with all the gaskets. Thats the only thing that seems a little bit odd to me.

If they used gasket sealant, its like an orange stuff, I wouldn't be surprised. But if they charged you for an additional gasket, check it out and yell at someone. :ph34r:
