On a $$$ per horsepower basis this is just a bit crazy, pricewise.....how many decent OB's could be bought for this amount? 
Just completely nutso in my book.....

That's about the same price as OEM headers for a Ferrari 355.
Not a good reason why I know this.

When I had the engine out I cut off the factory heat shielding and had the bare SS manifolds coated by Swain Technologies. I made extra heat shields for the motor mounts, starter, and alternator.
So far so good.......

Before my 360: "Wow that's expensive!"
After buying my 360: "Meh... In line with associated costs"
Having an F-car throws your expectations of reasonable out the door.

A local 928er just recently picked up a $32k 328 Ferrari, and after getting it road ready it is now a $70K car... So many parts are at "nosebleed prices".
Ferrari parts can make new 928 parts look dirt cheap.
