That is a little steep, but it is a beast of a job. I had my car in a shop around here and they swapped one of 'em for $100 IIRC. Have you already bought the parts?

MSDS header will replace your manifolds. The headers are a 3 piece set that comes with a new Y-pipe, but you can just bolt in your stock Y if you want to.
For best performance modify your stock Y-pipe, its better than the MSDS Y. If you don't mod your stock pipe, use the MSDS unit.
You will need MIL eliminators - I'm not sure if they're included with the headers. A few CEGers have just zip-tied the O2s & then plugged the bungs. You might want to try that option first if your set has no MIL eliminators with them.
