looks like these things are going to end up being $1000 plus.

no, this is a quote from RichieV6 from the other forum

Generally people that drive older Accords/TLs/CLs do not the disposable income to spend $1000+ on a header. There are a few but they are few and far between. I believe this is the main reason why products are never made. Everyone wants it but no one wants to pay for it.

Over the past 2 years I have a developed a good relationship with a factory in Taiwan and they are willing to listen to my suggestions and strive to make a better quality product. Every batch of my products are made by the same 2 guys, one bends and cuts and the other welds. I strive for the best quality and my products are proven.
I'm not going to be bent over and charged 1000+ for these headers. but i have a feeling the original makers might do that

Yeah I saw that...but all along I figured that in my mind because there wasn't going to be a BIG production run.

Maybe they want to compete with Comptech on that level...?

Or trying to make sure they can re-coop there initial costs...?

Who knows how many more people would order if it was a $600 vs. $1000 header...

I think the original fabricator wants to market it as a high-end product with a high-end price tag.

why compete when you can rape and pillage?

if richie could do this from scratch at ~$500 and make a profit i dont want to hear about initial costs from them

and the site of the equal length header itself plus the dynos shows that its a high end product

Yeah...only problem is that the original fabricator probably doesn't want Richie to make his header.

I guess we'll just have to see what happens.

yup, the thought of these was thrilling, but I don't think it is much more than that at this point.
