:i agree Dinan is a total RIP OFF. Other than the manifold gaskets I like the way he takes the factory exaust cuts it in half takes out some of the baffels and calls it his (special)Dinan high performance exaust for 3000.00. There are many other examples of Steve Dinans rip off artistry.
At my independent, R&R of manifold gaskets was $532 parts and $455 labor. In the future, don't bother with the Dinan manifold gaskets: they charge about $300 for a few pieces of plain old die-cut gasket material (oh, they add a can of gasket cement if you buy the kit). Total rip-off (my only real disappointment with Dinan). Replacement of the OEM gaskets, properly done is sufficient.

: : I just went through this a couple months ago. This price was for parts and labor for replacing the intake manifold with a Dinan intake manifold, new intake manifold gaskets, installing the dinan intake manifold gasket kit, and Dinan chipping. However, the dinan parts alone came to more than half that cost so just replacing the gaskets would be significantly less.
