Reasonable shop for header install?

[Tabes]

I am a new member wondering if anyone knows of a reasonable shop for a header install? I am located near O'Hare airport. Thanks!

Hi and Welcome! Looking forward to meeting you and admiring your ride.

A lot of people in the club use Nickey's.

+1 for NicKey, they're in St. Charles right off Dean St and Randall Rd.

Thanks, I heard good things about Nickey's. Just need install no tune, hope not to spend an arm and a leg.

You'll get a lot of props here concerning NicKey. What brand of headers are wanting installed? Some are easy to install and some are not. If you have someone installing them that's not familiar with the header brand or the car, there could be issues. Many on the forum have testimonies to that fact. I personally have found it's worth the extra money to pay someone you can trust and know will install whatever you need correctly the first time and stand behind their work. Choose wisely...

How's that for an answer?

If funds were not an issue I would goto Stefano, but it's steep for me.

Tabes,

Welcome to the club.

Thank you for reaching out and inquiring about the service you requested. Also special thanks to all of our supportive and loyal customers.

While I do understand your quest for the lowest bidder, it's not part our business plan. We will never be the Earl Scheib of Performance shop's.

We have an obligation to be there when our customers need us and to provide the best workmanship and technical knowledge available, in the market place, as well as the equipment and resources in order to get the job done, whether a simple header installation or a complex and complete build.

Our prices and services are competitive to the market for what we have to offer.

The vast majority of all of our business is by referral. Here is one we completed yesterday, referred to us by a happy customer in a Red 1LE.


"I generally do my best to provide fair and honest feedback regardless of my experience of the service provider or establishment. In the case of Nickey Performance I***8217;ll break it down over 3 categories. Experience, Outcome \Results & Value. My experience was outstanding and more than I anticipated from a high performance automotive shop. From the moment we arrived to drop off my 2014 SS Camaro (AKA Uncle Rico), Beth & Stefano made me feel at ease with leaving my car with them for some HP upgrades (including LT headers, thermostat & Super Tune). They walked me through the shop, started a few cars and let me ask about 1,000 questions with out getting annoyed with me. I couldn***8217;t be happier with the outcome and results of my HP upgrades.. The car made more power on the dyno than I expected and the turn around was 24 hours. (I***8217;m sure that turnaround time will vary depending on their workload). Even upon delivery, the crew (Beth, Stefano & Matt) stuck around to answer questions well past 7:00 PM to ensure my satisfaction was met. Value.. I***8217;ll put it to you this way.. In life you get what you pay for and with Nickey Performance, you pay for experience, results and piece of mind. I***8217;m sure you can find some knuckle buster on CL to install parts for a lesser price but do you really want to leave your 40K car with them? Not me.. I left my 2014 SS Camaro with them and walked away with a sense of confidence that I***8217;m leaving me car with people who care about what they do. I have 2 more rounds of upgrades planned for this car and I will be bring it back to them to install the cam & valve train later in 2017 and a super charger in 2018!! Thank you!"

Just to be clear I have only heard good things about your shop. The title of this thread was reasonable because of my situation. I am sure you would have done a great job. Unfortunately it was more than my budget allowed.

Where did you go?

My buddy Anthony is near O'Hare, he's done 80% of the work on my car:
