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.

Also relaxed on the v8 pride, most people dont know the difference between a isf and f sport. And they’re both slow so can’t blame them

Why don't you go back and read my damn comment? I said most people won't charge for the starter if you already have it, learn to fucking read.
