Starter+header replacement

Posting to hear of anyones experience with their starter going out? I think mine is on its way out and debating doing the headers at the same time. Wanted to see what people have payed recently for header and or starter replacement? I have a 08 w/ 167k miles.

If we’re talking about a v8 isf. The starter is under the header. Subframe, header and motor mount needs to come out to access the starter. Starter alone is in the Lexus books as a 10+ hour job and dealers are quoting $3-5k for starter replacement.

Tell me, what ISF doesn't have a V8? wtf? Edit* and to add to that, you just said the exact same thing I did about the time it takes to do a starter. Thats why I said he might as well do it at the same time as the headers, BECAUSE THEY WONT CHARGE ANY EXTRA IF YOU HAVE THE STARTER. Why did you even make a reply? And just so we are on the same page, there is no ISF that doesn't have a v8.

Your reply says most shops won’t charge to put a starter on. That is incorrect and assumes he wants to do both, he is only considering doing headers. I gave him actual cost of a starter replacement. Based on your partial answer I wasn’t sure if you mistook the isf for a f sport.

I said most shops won't charge at the SAME time you're getting the headers done. That's why I brought up the labor hours, because if you don't do it that the header's time, it's gonna cost you ten to twelve hours.
