yes, $380 at summitracing with shipping, or $370 at a local place.
I know hedmans may be a lower quality header, but I'm leaning towards them anyway for the coating. my engine bay gets too hot with the stock manifold. It will also keep my floorboards cooler in the Texas heat.

Alec,
You can put some header wrap on the Borlas and not void the warrenty. You can't do that on the Heddmans. The header wrap will cut down on the temp.

Exactly what is header wrap and where do I get it?
Also, I don't feel like dealing with carparts.com because of their less-than-stellar track record, and that's the only place that the borlas are that cheap.

I installed Borlas about a year ago and they are awesome; best mod I've made so far. As you know they are stainless steel, will never rust out and have a lifetime warranty. Trust me, as difficult as the installation is you don't want to have to replace some rusted out headers every couple years.
Also, header wrap does make a HUGE difference in under-hood temps. I think I got the Thermo-Tec brand from Hi-Lo but you can get it at most parts houses/performance shops.
