400 dollar headers for a GTO?
Lets actually look at a similar car, the G8. G8 headers go for 1500 bucks for a set of stainless LT's.
And a true dual exhaust, with cats, is going to run you a grand, in stainless, at least.
Throw in near 300 bucks in tuning/dyno testing, and you have a pricy build.
Would I spend the 6k? Eh, no. Is 6k a great deal? Well when people are dropping 4k on superchargers only, without having a shop install it or tuning it, making that kind of power.
I think its a fair price for right now. Once the car gets going, parts are made more readily available, should drop pretty far.
