I had an alt static valve installed on my plane by an avionics shop when they had it in
for the IFR static/transponder test. They considered it a minor mod, no 337 needed,
just a log entry. Total incremental cost was less than $100.

True... for a certified aircraft, the little $2.99 valve costs $299, and the
paperwork to install it costs another $300. Yet another instance of "what's safe is
not necessarily legal, and what's legal isn't necessarily safe."
