Recommendation for header.

I said way overpriced and your telling me I am dead wrong? I don't call $1200+ for a header cheap.
And thats why its called my opinion.
I got Forced Fed headers for $499. Install only took the mechanic about 4 hours and will also fit a sedan, if that's a concern. Total cost was about $850 after taxes. My "after" dyno vs. my previous dyno showed good gains across the entire rpm range. It cost less money than most exhausts and I probably got better gains than most too. Well worth the money!
Here's a link to my review for more details:

Well, I give up. You guys buy a $40K Sports Coupe with potential, and then want to skimp on the header. That's fine with me. I've got the Crawford, and again, IMO, I made the correct choice. No doubt about it in my mind! You fellas save your pennies for

BTW, Crawford doesn't use a plate at the exhaust flange side. each flange is individual to make mounting to the head easier, and the seal better. Better design makes a better header.

Crawford does make good quality stuff. But when I am told the shop has to make the bolt holes bigger to make them fit correctly that is a concern.
And still the point stands. It isn't worth $1000+ for a crawford for the gains headers provide PERIOD.
