Default It is fairly easy to do but...

You need to buy hose clamps because most of the clamps from the factory are one time use. If the person knows waht they are doing I think it would be 2 hours to be safe.

Default I got quoted about 6 hours...

They said it was due to the location of some of the hoses as well as making sure of perfect fit. Sounds like a long time to me. The cost was around 500 to do this quoted by AWE. I guess since they have the best prices on parts they make their money on installation.

Default I paid close to that for my kit...

there are a lot of hoses and takes it a while to do. I'm sure it doesn't take a FULL 5 hrs. but it's not just a simple job.
(i'm sure the tbb and F hose can be done in a few hours but if you do the whole set like I did your looking at somewhere about 5 hrs..)
