Default how long does it take?

Could someone please give me an idea how long it will take to replace stock slipons with V & H ovals, remembering I am somewhat mechanically inclined and can follow directions....... Also how long will it take to replace the stock air cleaner withstage 1 kit? I realize I will have to pay the dealer or Indy toinstall and load SERT as well as dyno time.Thanks for your help.

Slipons and stage I air cleaner for the somewhat mechanically inclined- about a two beer job.

For my SG: V&H slip ons, Big Sucker A/C, Fuel Pak = about 4 hours.

I can change out slip on mufflers on my 06 FLHT/I in 30 minutes or less. 9/16" on the muffler clamps (2), Four 1/2" bolts under the saddlebags. At one time I had 3 sets of slip on mufflers (SE 2's, V&H Classic, and SE Touring mufflers, ok my friends say I have a muffler fetish) and switched them out depending on my mood or distance I planned on riding. 30-45 minutes on adding the SE breather if I remember correctly.

My dealer recently charged me for 2 hours for exchanging my stock mufflers with Vance & Hines Monster Twin Slash slip ons (I have a 2009 Road King). Do you think it's a reasonable time? It seems a bit too much to me...
