I recently bought a brand new set of custom headers from a board member here. The shop they were made at is called A1 Performance Exhaust Systems, apparently they have made a few of them. Before I bought them, I called up the shop to get some info about them. Turns out they charge like $1300 for a set of headers, ceramic coated. They said it takes about 4 weeks to make.

Just thought some of you would be interested.

Nope, they aren't in yet. Not sure when I'll get them installed, I want to try to use a friends shop with lifts and do it myself. As far as the tune, I really am not sure when. I would like to do it in early May, though.
