The obvious answer here is that there is a huge difference in business models. Kooks, ARH, and SW all design their headers here, make them in the US with US sourced steel, and labor, and then selling it with an actual warranty and support. That costs a lot more than copying someones header, getting it made in China between runs of Walmart lawn furniture, and dumping it on ebay. The machine Kooks uses to map and engine bay, and design a headers is alone the price of a few ZL1's.
I am really trying to stay out of here..but I really take offense to someone insinuating that American companies are overcharging and the bad guy when the reality is, they are getting completely ripped off. The attitude people are taking is seriously going to lead to where you cannot buy US made anything anymore.
