Meat... not sure what the install costs because they did some other things and made an overall labor charge. Their prices are very reasonable considering the experts that end up working on your car.
Unicron, the exhuast is $1500, and well worth it. Titanium is not a cheap metal!
The fit and finish is impeccable, with cast-flanges welded to polished stainless pipes that end in titanium mufflers. The entire unit is very light. I could pick it up with very little effort.
Juliann said it best when standing behind the car while I blipped... I asked "what does it sound like?" and she replied "It sounds like $1500 well spent!"

That is really nice but you cant get water from a rock! Im dry! Spent all my money. And sorry to say but I just couldnt spend 1500 bucks on an exhaust.
1300 for headers killed me enough.(stock market money!) That money would be long gone now if I didnt spend it so im glad I did!

Are either of those guys in the last picture Scott? I have spoken to him many times but it would be neat to see what he looks like...
My Mugen headers were such a work of art I didn't really want to bury them in an engine compartment... I wanted to put them on a table and shine a spotlight on them!

S2KPHX-
Jason & I drove up to King (Sullivan WI, www.kingmotorsports.com) and spent the day there while they did the installation. We had a few other things on the laundry list for the guys at King as well, so it was "a day at the spa" for our s2k. Go to their web site and you find out how to contact them. Great guys! Tell Scott that we sent ya

Scott is on the left in the bottom pic, we really wish we could have gotten the Mugen headers too (SCCA rules won't allow it for stock calss). Just knowing that they were buried in the engine compartment would be fine with me!
