If I was to secure a guy who would make some hi-quality custom headers for your C43, and it cost say, $2500, would you be interested? (I don't have an exact cost yet and won't know for a few weeks; could be more but w/o looking @ the car he thinks they'll be under $3K) He is a Burns Stainless dealer, though he says he makes his own collectors similar to Burns's. Whatever's cheaper but still hi-qual is fine for me.

This guy's bread and butter is making custom turbo manifolds. He's the maker of the headers I call "works of art" on the guys turbo'd C36 car who did the engine swap for me. He takes great pride in making max-quality stuff ... he's never had one break or come back. He says he builds it for himself first, so he can be proud of pix of his work in his portfolio, and makes them for you/me second. ...I thought that was kind of a funny thing to say, but says a lot about what you can expect of the end product.

Any interest @ that price?

EDIT: P.S. I'll be giving this guy my extra 4.3L motor to work off as a jig, and will be able to leave my C43 there in a few weeks for as long as it takes for him to fit the headers.
