Header Installation

[nonmoalero]

Well, after having my headers sit in my garage for a year+ I am finally getting around to having them installed. So I called a few exhaust places around me and asked how much they would charge to do something like that, and every on of the mechanics I spoke to said they had never done headers on an Alero, it would be extremely difficult, and that it would cost like 95$ an hour to do something like that. Plus, two of the guys I spoke with acted like they were the best at that kind of stuff, and went on and on about really having to know what you are doing when you install those kind of performance parts. Being that I have read of many people on this site installing the headers themselves, can it really be that hard? and couldn't a $55 an hour mechanic handle something like that? I did talk to a guy at a Ford dealership who I know through a friend who does stuff on the side who said he would take a shot at it since he has done headers and exhausts on diesel trucks, but if the installation is really that difficult I am not sure how good he is, and if he could handle it; what do you guys think? Please help! I need some advice as what to do?
