Thanks for your response!! :)

I think we all have a tendency to devalue our own time especially when it's our own "stuff" we're working on. Plus, I enjoy the work and taking ideas in my head and implementing them into a product. That's why I became an M.E.

However, applying logic to the situation, it may be the best route to pursue with custom headers. By the time I've paid to send and receive my "shelf" headers to Nitroplate or equal and pay for coating, I may be knocking on the door, in regards to cost, of a custom set of headers that are ideal for my application.

There are many values in a custom set of headers that have to be factored into a value analysis. You may have just persuaded me :)

I will continue to think this through. If I could buy a set that would just bolt up and fit, this would be a no-brainer. I am so curious if the fenderwells would require any modification but it's hard to be so sure without purchasing a set :(

Thanks for your reply again.

I think - if performance and upgrades are where it's going - that a set of custom made headers is worth doing. I'm one to devalue my own time but at some point it has to be worth something to not have to cut up and re-coat a new set of shelf headers. Custom made will get you fit, appearance, ease of maintenance, tunability, and performance. Would you drop another $500 beyond the cost of the shelf units to get the rest?
