It's gonna vary so much from area to area, that you are really wasting your time asking us. Your better off just calling up some local shops and asking them yourself. Some shops might charge you $100, some might charge you $200... you just gotta call them and ask.

They are not hard to install. If you have any bit of mechanical knowledge you can do it.

I did mine with no special tools, except a 45 degree socket. Just make sure its good quality as I broke the cheap one.

Well you gotta have the right wrench for the O2 sensors as well. Doesn't that take some sort of specialty O2 sensor wrench?

I thought we had O2 sensors mounted on the manifolds for some reason. I'll have to pay more attention next time I'm under the hood.
