Got a price for installing headers and catback! is this good.

After the shop is done toying with my camaro and putting everything together i got a price from this guy who's 2 shops down and i was asking him how much to install the edelbrock headers, catco coverter, and the flowmaster catback with 3 inch dual tips and he priced me at $200.00. IM sure thats a great price considering its alot of work. My friend had his worked 91' 355 camaro done there(installing headers and catback) and from what ive seen it looks like the guy did a good job but my friend says he sees leaks. So im thinking about talking to the guy before installing it or go somewhere else but for 200 it seems i have no choice. I wanna try one of the junkyard guys near shaestadium(mispelled). I dont know im clueless help!

are you sure your friend just doesnt need to tighten the header bolts? They loosen up over time.

$200 is an awesome price. headers are a MAJOR PITA TO GET DONE in our cars. Pay it! Just make sure he does good work.
