B/c that's what most reputable companies do? B/c you might be able to sell more than one set of headers per day? B/c you won't lose customers that are ready to buy now but have better things to do than watch eBay auctions?

I know I wouldnt set a price on my **** if I nkew I might be able to get more Oh well im happy with my purchase, and cant wait to get them on. Im almsot certain the bidder1 was the company bumping up their own bids but I cant honestly say I blame them, but it was still cheaper than pace setters so its a win/win situation

well, since i had the guy go ahead and do the whole install for me, i dont really know how much just that cost. i paid $300 for taking off all emmisions, the install, the weld-up, making a ORY w/ dual cutouts, and a spark plug change. I feel like a wuss for letting someone else do it, but I got these just after i had been in the hospital for two weeks with my third collapsed lung in 4 months, so my parents would have shot me if i got under my car for this.

Just how good are these headers? I hate to sound doubtful, but I've always been leery of things that sound too good to be true. IOW, these things are dirt cheap compared to everything else. How do they fit? Any install issues?

there's about 50 threads honestly in the past 6 months that will answer all those questions.... but as hopefully as you know every car is different and every LT can fit better on one compared to another
