a few complex bends... I will give you that. Nothing that justifies the over inflated price. WTF? just mho

Supply and demand. In terms of the overall Porsche market, the demand is relatively small... so the supply follows close behind.

Supply and demand. Not a big demand, so higher prices needed to "make it worth the while".

Also Porsche owners require high quality, so sub-standard materials and craftsmanship won't work.

which part do you think is cheap....the "porsche" part or the "custom" part?

jleidel

Indeed... "custom" becomes "commodity" with sufficient volume.

I fully understand the economics behind it, but that same free market mentality should motivate a small manufacturer to under cut the price point by 15 or 20 % and corner the market. no? Has anyone attempted to themself, or have someone custom make some headers at a shop?

How much ??

So how is it lucrative to make/sell 5 sets a year at a reduced margin?

Buy a Ford already.

Expensive compared to what? Look up headers for the 355 Ferrari and get back to me......

You want Chevy prices on parts, go buy a Camaro.

Yea really. How many of these posts are you going to make comparing Mustang/domestic mass produced etc. parts with Porsche? They are what they are. You should have researched more before you bought a $1500 Porsche 928, then you wouldn't have been so surprised.

I checked last week on Sanderson (aluminized ceramic coated) headers for the Just Peachy LS build and there $ 525 + $ 74 for the reducers, copper gaskets, and bolts for a total of $ 599 + shipping. T

You do realize that this was the flagship Porsche in its day? As someone mentioned above, checkout ferrari pricing... Anything under a grand for a set is a bargain.
