A body header choice PLEASE HELP

Really didn't pay anywhere near an additional $300-$400 for my TTI'S..

That's awesome for you then. Honestly. In my case I didn't have any kind of connection, or I didn't find a deal on like new/new in package headers from a user here or local guy, nor was there a sale I found at the time I was ready to purchase. I just MAY have considered TTIs if they were at least in the $600- $650 range which is roughly the most you pay for ceramic Doug's. Like others have said via Auto zone they can be had for closer to $500. You can't touch TTIs with a 10 ft pole for that price. I have seen both brands first hand and there certainly is absolutely no reason to pay that much extra when going off of finish and build qaulity.
