Picked up my stage 1 kit from Cajun at ups yesterday going to begin install after work tonight. Read all the walk thrus an been soaking in PB blaster. Gotta say these things are almost to pretty to put on a truck Jeffs welds are the best I have ever seen an I will review total package once installed an dialed in thus far this has all exceeded my expectations in service an quality.
Got Jbas an B pipes

So been working on it since Saturday thought i could do thru weekend boy was I wrong. I am no ninja with wrenches but grasshopper status for those who used to watch Kung fu tv show. Working about 3 hours a day on it with work an other things finally got it all finished last night cept for one motor mount bolt to the frame. Started it revved a couple times wow sounds great may get a resonator if ye ol lady complains about it. I will fix bolt tonight an get with joe on the tuning an report back. But so far not incredibly hard but very tedious an just time consuming the walk thrus on here saved me from going to a shop plan on having it done. The headers an bpipes lined up perfect Jeff make a super solid product sorry for the longs post just a lot thoughts on it.

Very cool. Jeff at Cajun is the premier B-pipe and exhaust manifold expert. Been running his exhaust components going on 3.5-4yrs now. Great guy to deal with and ask him questions, he won't yell at you... Thats just me he does that too 
Upload some videos onto Youtube, and post them here. Would like to see some In-cab speed vids and some external drive by and wide open throttle vids.

If you have all the tools an goes smoothly I'd say 6-8 hours if 4wd less if 2wd. Took me the course of a few days with work an life just take your time an pb blaster your best friend all in the prep work I'd say spray them for a few days prior.

B-pipes literally take like 30 minutes for both sides, if that...provided you have nothing seized up under there. I'm sure they'll try to spin it as an hour or two of labor though.
As far as the headers...I believe most shops will charge for roughly 7 hours of labor like mattsmash said. That's what I was quoted in the middle TN area. When I did mine by myself, going in blind (but armed with knowledge from TT of course) it took me around 14 hours over a 2 day period, including breaks and store runs for some odds and ends. For a knowledgeable shop, 6-8 hours wouldn't be too far off the mark I'd say.
As far as price, I was quoted anywhere from $700-$1000 or so for labor alone.
