Dp and intercooler install

335_MI6 · 11-06-2012, 11:10 PM

250 for dps and 75 for fmic.... I have a XI and its harder to install the dps

I've installed downpipes and fMic in 3 hours lol

It wasn't my first time lol

But $900 is way tooo much

$400-$500 would be a reasonable price from a shop

The book calls for 5.5 hours. An average shop rate of 95 an hour (at least around NC where I am) so... not so far off from that.

Couple hours with a lift on the downpipes, intercooler is quick depending on which one you pick up. If it's a direct bolt in like our 5.0" super easy. They don't even have to remove the bumper cover.

I would say 3-4 hours max.

This is why I just cannot pay a shop to install anything. $85 an hour and the tech probably makes $15-20... Put that $900 into tools and do it yourself.

rip offfff

Go elsewhere! Agree with estimations in thread: DPs 3hrs and ETS IC 2hrs. I did this myself with limited tools and experience in about this time with garage jack + stands.

You should try and phone a friend on this one.
They are both pretty easy to install.

Im sure you can find someone local to help you.
