labor my friend. I paid $300 for the stage 2 install. People on here find it cheaper, so you should shop around. If you plan on putting the pulley, belt, and injectors on by yourself, you will still pay between $50-$100 for the tune. Also, stay out of boost when your driving it to the dealership to have it reflashed.
And if you do the install on your own, your warranty is only good for 12 months. Get it done at the dealership, it will be covered under the full car warranty. That is what my dealership says.

I shopped around, and even buying the stage 2 from CED for $550ish, the install ended up running about 350, so $900 total. I think you are going to hear from a LOT more people that they paid around 800-1000 versus the guys that paid pennies for their install.

I did my install myself and I had to call five certified Chevy Dealerships before I found one that actually knew that GM made a supercharged cobalt(I live in a small town). They did the reflash in about 40 minutes for $45. Call around first and you might find one like I did.

I did my install, the 12 month 12 thousand mile warranty is for the stage kit parts themself. If you have a dealer do it , the parts are covered for the 3/36 bumper to bumper warranty. Otherwise it doesn't effect the car warranty ,powertrain or bumper to bumper unless you screw up the install.
