Installation hours quoted to install these mods.....

I am researching shops to install the below mods. How many installation hours was everyone quoted to have these mods installed? If you installed yourself, what seems reasonable?

FYI... I have an '07 e92.

FMIC
Oil Cooler (Retrofit kit)
Meth Kit (Trunk Mount)
Downpipes
Catback Exhaust
Charge Pipe

Thanks for everyone's input.

FMIC and chargepipe you can def do yourself and if you are good with wiring you can do the meth kit.

+1 charge pipe and FMIC is easy on a 1-10 both are about a 4. as for the others

Oil cooler= 3 hours
Meth kit= 3 hours
downpipes= 3 hours

This is based off of someone who knows what their doing and a good shop would prolly be about $90 and hour so your looking at about $800 worth of installation.

meth kits are not that difficult once you know what you're doing... I would put it slightly more difficult than a DCI once you do it the first time. If you do it a certain way, you won't even need a ramp.

I would suggest doing everything yourself as these are all easy mods but I will answer your quesion also

FMIC (1 or less)
Oil Cooler (Retrofit kit) (1-2)
Meth Kit (Trunk Mount) (2-6 depends on how you want it hooked up)
Downpipes (a good shop should be able to do it in 2 hr max)
Catback Exhaust (30 min)
Charge Pipe (30 or less)

So I would say anywhere between 7hr to 12 hr so based on a rate of 90 hr it would be $720 - $1080.

terrance can help with the meth, so you might as well save the charge pipe install with the meth install.

fmic, maybe (3 to 4 hr if it's ur first time)

dp's get someone else to install them, PITA if you don't have a lift. (3 to 4 hrs if it's ur first time)

exhaust, might as well switch it when you get the dp's on so the line up flush, when I self installed my vanguard cat back exhaust, I had to re rotate the dp so all pipes fit flush.
