The headers are supposed to ship today! I only spent more on the blower, ha. They are a specialty item. I am sure that there is no assembly line that cranks them out. So they are a one off hand made item. They provide a proven performance increase, are ceramic coated, custom fitting, shiny, and I am glad they are still available for these 20 year old rigs!!!!
If it sounds like I am rationalizing the purchase, it's cause I had to with the wife and like all, I work hard for my money. I thought seriously about the two to other brands, but it's already tight in there and I want that ceramic coating to help with heat. These do come with bolts, gaskets, high temp red thread locker, and gaskets too. Finally, this is my one thing I spend a bit on, my hobby and I will get use out of them everyday. It will be Christmas in October when I get them!
Whew, still a tinge of guilt, that's a third of a Caribbean trip.
