again got mine from Crate Engine Depot $495 to my door.

 

Thats not too bad if its a flat rate. My service advisor told me he would call me if it was gonna be over 200. So when i get the call they are buttoning up the car and my sevice advisor told me it would be like 370 for the install. Turns out the techs didnt give him notice when they figured it would cost more than 200. My family and I have a good relationship with this advisor so he told me he would do it for 200 plus tax.

Tell your dealership you can get the kit online for 475 at gm parts direct. They might try to strike a deal. Mine did.

 

GMPD has NO detectable customer service, so you better hope the order doesn't get lost. You'll be arguing with a webpage if it does. If the pricing is close, go with Crate Engine. It's good insurance.

Agreed; I got mine form Crate Engine as well. Current price for the kit (P/N 19212670) at Crate Engine is $485.05 for the kit plus $12.95 S&H. Good customer service and they give you a shirt to wear.

 

Damn you get shirt too!? I woulda got mine there if i knew that. Good pricing that comes with apparel. HELL OF A DEAL!

 

only problem is the shirt needs to be modified

my dealer only charged me $65 for the install... but I think they f'ed that one up

 

The money you saved on the install should go to adding "HHR SS" to your shirt. Probably a very cheap modification.

 

The above post is why I said GM.. up yours, and went with Trifeica. More HP,can be turned off and on at will, and none of the hassle with the dealers crap. Trificeia is a lot better deal all around.
I know i'm gonna get some that will say different[just because they have stage 1, but I rode in a stage 1 tuned SS, and mine is a whole bunch stronger. for sure.
Also, don't have to worry about splicing problems, or clearance issues, and again the stupid dealer crap. Plus a lot more and cheaper price. Don't have to sing the stage 1 blues.
Thats my story and I'm sticking to it! "Moon"

 

I called today and all the dealers around here wanted about $700-$750 installed, The dealer i bought the car from said $614.25 installed and i'm getting it put in Wednesday :)

 

aggreed, 300 bucks for more hp, or 750 for less. 750 for a couple sensors is highway robbery imho. Just go with a tune and be done with it, trifecta or byt.

 

I don't think two hours of labor is out of line once you add up all of the time. I originally thought it was way too long but I was wrong. If the tech is lucky there is enough wire on the lower map connector to work with. On mine, the tech said he had to unravel a fair amount of the loom and it still took two people to do it. - one holding each wire from the top so the guy at the bottom could crimp it. He said that even with the coolant tank moved you just couldn't get both hands down there from the top.
