the really funny thing is i have kooks custom headers on my trans am which were approximately $1,000, so i have researched and purchased custom made headers, i was actually considering purchasing a set of your crossfire headers, but now to steal a line from you, "it's obvious" that now i will pass.
maybe you didn't read the second part of my post, "i'm not disputing that alot of time and effort is put into your companies headers, but when it is all said and done $1,800 is one hell of a price tag for headers" - i didn't say i wasn't willing to pay $1,800, i said it was alot, and well truth be told it is alot for headers, as i said i was considering a set of your headers for my crossfire but you assumed i wasn't interested talked down on me and lost a customer.
First, I wasn't "talking down to you and I never assume". Second with 15 years of experience in this industry, I've seen first hand what happens with the low price headers and deal with them (repairs) on a monthly basis. I was simply defending our products. My statement was a generalization of the mass produced header market as a whole. Not everyone's headers perform poorly, however the majority of mass produced headers do have issues in one form or another. I have done my research, its my job! I may not have quoted, or referred to ever single header manufacturer but the research has been done.
