I got my high flow cats and my catback installed professionally for $125 bucks and they were able to save both 02 sensors.

That isn't so bad because that's probably about 2 hours labor at a "normal" shop. It's actually a pretty good price.

Infiniti dealerships charge $90 and up/hr labor. Anyone who thinks it is less than 2 hours labor is fooling themselves.

Yes. There are 4 in our exhaust, 2 on each side. Only one needs to be removed on each side for cat replacement though and it is easy to damage even if the technician knows what he's doing. Mine got messed up even with the dealership doing the work, but they replaced it since their tech broke it.

Yeah no kidding, it took about 3 hours total for everything since the top bolt was being a pita and had to be drilled out. All in all it was a job well done. My headers are going on the beginning of next week which will be a 3 hours job. Uprev is releasing their protune in a month so I'll finally be able to get the car tuned.

i got the test pipes on my g35 installed in under a hour at forged. didnt think the g37s were that much more complicated. if you have the right tools, it shouldnt take very long.
