    whats with LT prices

    why does dynatech and american performance have to be so blasted high on thier prices? it just doesn't make sense that they couldn't make it more reasonable to have LTs with a bolt on catted Y for under a grand. if a company can design and build LTs for 300 dollar range then what some bent exhaust to add, hell, maybe another 200 or 300 to the price.... i just don't see 1400 in thier product....

    you get what you pay for!! pacesetters are junk, i would never own such a cheap worthless header !!

    the material used is cheap for pacesetters they even rust if not coated then they still dont last that long, unlike dynatechs which are made out of high grade stainless ( cant remember the number damn it ) !!

    WOW on this thread...Too bad all materials don't cost exactly the same. And too bad not all mandrel bending machines don't distort the tubing. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. So why does a Lexus cost more than a KIA. They both get you from point a to b... Hmmm. And I guess that whole theory of a engine being able to move more air in and out makes no sense either....Geez

    the difference is buying a set for $1400 and never having to replace them or a set for $400 that will need replaced in 5 yrs. im sure the performance difference isnt to much on a mild enige but the more mods you do the more the higher quality set will shine. just my 2 cents. gary
