It's basically the only aftermarket header option. That is the standard price for it.

Re: what do you think?

I got mine from summit....along with a high flow cat, and dynomax catback....I got the cat while I was leaving for work the next morning.....the rest was waiting for me when I got home....and like amorget said, it is basically the only option, I think 1 other company made them at some point but no longer does or something, Idk, but if you have the scratch do yourself a favor and the ceramic coated ones, if you don't and get the painted ones, that paint WILL flake off very quickly, you have to repaint them, drawback is you can't just paint over the other paint, as it will just flake off, you have to remove the paint the hard way, or bolt them on and pull them once its all off to repaint them, I learned this the hardway and they are covered in rust now, I will just wait till I do my hybrid buildup and have to have them modified to fit a 3500 head, and just have an exhaust shop make them work with the new heads, then have them blasted and ceramic coated. Also in addition to lasting way longer and holding up a lot better, and looking a lot better, ceramic coated headers reduce heat in the engine bay, though in my case my hood does that plenty anyways.
