Re: fenderwell headers?

Spending many hours to make one set doesn't allow to make up for labor and material cost over time. We are trying to get a mandrel bender which would cut down on cost for everyone but that is a expensive piece of equipment.

If you are on a budget it can sometimes be best to buy a set or headers that fit and modify them to work with your application. I was talking to a customer the other day who was quoted 2800$ for a set of headers by a very well known shop in san Antonio, only to be charged 3900 once the job was finished. I personally think that was robbery!!! Even a set of 321 headers shouldn't cost that much.
What would you charge for fender well exit headers on a 64 c10. 1 7/8 primary to 3.5 collector? My motor is moved back 4". I live close to Houston so I can bring the truck to you for fitment.
