Wow.... sorry to hear that. Maybe you should be buying a welder instead! :D
I know some of our out-of-country brethern pay ridiculous tarrifs and penalties on our products. From what I have heard, Sweden & Australia are probably the worst. But I agree: No F`in way would I pay $1,300+ for a set of headers.
Although replacing a crappy set with good ones can add up too. :drunken:
