headers or not to headers

I installed the Summit Racing headers ($99) on my Demon. They were a tite fit but only took a few minutes to put in because the engine was out when I did it. I simply put them in place then lowered the engine into place. I was not able to get the stock starter to fit so I ended up buying a mini starter from a Dodge Ram. The starter ($130) cost more than the headers but I think in the end it was worth it... I have heard the TTIs are nice but I could never justify spending that much on headers.
