          PART              COST     LABOR
-----------------------   --------   -----   
Boost Upgrade System        899.00     6.0
Stage 5 Engine Software     549.00     0.5
Cowl Induction Intake       249.00     1.0
High Flow Throttle Body     399.00     1.5
Free Flow Exhaust           649.00     1.0
                          --------   -----
                 Totals   2,745.00    10.0

No Signature Floor Mats, Deck Lid Badge or Serial Numbered Plaque included

The big issue for me is the associated warranty that comes with it! I would focus on the Boost upgrade (cost is open to conversation) and the engine software! You can pretty much select your own intake, and I have a hard time purchasing the muffler section only for my MCS. I would like to have the whole catback system. Throttle body, I have read opposing opinions as to whether or not the TB is really necessary...

So what are you looking at for the cost? $1448 (plus tax), and about $747 for fitment? (assuming $115/hour labor)

I will learn to live without the floor mats, badge and plaque! "We don't need no stinking badges!"
