Anyone see the drag pack headers by TTi???? Unreal $2500.00 for a set of headers are u kidding me????? well I guess if you can afford a drag Pack u would pay $2500 for a set of headers,Geez once they have the CAD program for the bender it's a push of a button to make a set,I'm going in the header building business --So what if they are stainless,they should be gold for that price.

They are nuts!! I just made a comment on facebook for a discussion we were having about why drag racing is loosing participants. You spend $7K+ on an engine, $3K+ for a trans and converter, $7K+ on a rolling chassis, $1K+ on tires and wheels, $40 for an entry fee, and $80 in fuel each week to race, and a bunch of things I'm forgetting for only a bracket car. If you win maybe a $500 purse. If I blow up an engine, I personally am done for a year before I can piece something together. I don't mind going out and playing every now and again but I can't justify the time and money every week and I have to have a street legal car even if "Street Legal" is a loose term. I know of too many people who get to sit at home in a lawn chair and stare at their race car on a nice night to go out for a joy ride!!

Drag Pak= Hemi = Licence to gouge.
Can anyone tell me why a sand cast intake should cost $1100?

they know what they have in R&D and what it will cost to make such a small run, they know they will only sell a very small amount so that is the price to recoup some of the cost.

Exactly.
And sure you get bend some tube and magically header appear. The fixtures over at TTI that every header goes on takes two people to lift.

One company has dropped the price on the DP intakes to $799....that's a $400 drop....
While that's a good thing...it proves my point about price points being extreme for Hemi stuff.
If you're REALLY "going into the header=building bidness, I would hope that you design and produce a 6-into-one header for a turbocharged slant six.
NOBODY is building a header for that engine. There's lots of room, flanges are readily available, and design-parameters are pretty-much what you want them to be.
These folks, who would be buying them, are desperate for something that will bolt-on... doesn't HAVE to be "state of the art." Price is negotiable, but $1,000.00 is not unreasonable. We built our own and it cost us that much. Seriously.
Think about it... please...

wow!!!!!!!!!!
I have heard that Ed Thomson (85moparkid on FABO was attempting to put together a package deal using a PISHTA-design exhaust system that included a stock cast iron exhaust manifold, a J-pipe and a turbo mount, that would enable a product-user to bolt a turbo onto a slant six with a minimum of hassle.
I found a picture of that setup on PISHTA'S engine, to give you an idea how it could look.
Bear in mind, this picture is of a one-off setup, and after the dust settles and the production units' design is agreed upon, that production unit may or may not look anything like this picture.
It looks like a keeper to me.... I want one!!!!
In the meantime, to whet your appetite, here's the picture.
