Alex, $1,000 for any exhaust is may too much for me! That is why I am building my own header to suit my engine combination. It will cost me about $350 including the ceramic coating and muffler. I have 3 of the 4 pipes laid out and tacked, I ran out of bends and have to order a couple more to finish the 4th pipe. Building a header is not as hard as people think. It takes a lot of thought and patience but I find it an interesting challenge-getting 4 pipes starting at different places to end up at the same place and the same length with out interfearing with the rest of the engine can be quite the head scratcher. To make matters more challenging, I positioned the collector under the valve cover on the passenger side so my collector extension pipe will run accross the rear of the engine inside the rear apron with the muffler tucked in the fenderwell like the "hide-out" type 1 systems.
