Default Looking for a good shop in miami to install headers.

I called my dealer and he told me the car has to be kept overnight to cool down and that its going to cost me $600. breathless performance does them for $400. I was wondering if there are any other shops in miami that can install the headers for me at a cheaper quote. If not, then I might as well go to breathless performance in fort lauderdale.
Thanks all

cooled down over night?

I do 5-7 C5/6's per day at the Carlisle event for the past 3 years

these cars are driven 400 miles plus sometimes and right onto the lift

Leather gloves is all they need

www.AmericanRacingHeaders.com is what HPS often uses

Holy crap, $600? That a joke? I would charge like 300-400 max. I charge 500 for inline 6 headers and those are a huge pain in the *** in comparison.

Headers should take 3 hours max.

+ cost of an oil change if you have drysump though.

Default VetteSmith

Check out the "VetteSmith" in Cutler Ridge. They have been there for 30+ years . I've had good experience with them, and have heard only good feedback about them.

They have the best reputation for doing good work. I have visited the shop on several occasions and they are always full of customer's cars.

They used to, but they use LG now also. They webpage specials use to say AR, and now it just says "header special".

They are the best vette shop in the SE. It will be worth the drive up for the quality of service you will get.

I've used HPS for the past five years; they've done exhaust, headers, heads, cam, supercharger, engine replacement, fast intake and new fuel system on my C6.

The important thing is they stand behind their work
