There seems to be a steady supply of them in those price ranges. Availability in the realm of reality is probably what several hundred buyers are waiting for. For $1500.00-1800.00, a very nice set of custom stainless headers can be fabricated with superior performance to the manifolds. The manifolds have the advantage of tighter packaging and the correct look. If someone is building an ultra rare car they think is a 6 figure piece, then 5K for a pair of manifolds isn't a big deal. The majority of the people who have been waiting 2+ years for reproductions have cars worth 25-40K. 5K for two relatively simple castings, (compared to heads and blocks), is a bit of a head scratcher. Are D-Port and/or round port long branch manifolds in the works or are we looking at years down the road? I for one appreciate the parts you are able to bring to market.
