Prices of metals are going up, a few companies said this would happen I don't remember if kooks said they would or not off hand.

It's a very nice part but well past what I'd pay honestly.

As a matter of fact, we do!

We've still got ALOT of inventory here that we purchased on the old pricing, so we can still pass on great deals (they were good deals before, now they're even better!)

Call me anytime and I'll be glad to help you save some $$!

Well now since the price of steel is about half, are the headers going to cost substantially less? Or are the header companies going to pull the gas station trick. Raise the price with raising supplies cost but keep it high when the supply cost decreases?

I wonder if this has anything to do with their implementation of their revised headers. Hard to think it's not at least partly to blame. That said, those are some of the nicest headers around, along with my ARH's.
