Header selection budget

TTI has priced their stuff out to the point that you can buy at least two, maybe three,cheapies now, and have new headers on your car about every third/fourth year, for about the same price........ and never have to fix the rotten merges that seem to come around about that interval, if ,like me,you run year-round.
But I just gotta say one thing; thick flanges are nice; my TTIs have never required retightening.
