4. OBX headers $680
Total $1430

Thats $80 more than your sale price on one set of Kooks with catted connection pipes or the cost of one MacBook Pro. Are you really saying that about $100 worth of raw material bent and welded together hold the same value of my Mac? Please don't say it took as much engineering to build headers as it did to build a computer, software and all.
I give you props for at least all your mods being value based. My point on the Mac is that inside, it is the same parts as Dell, but with a 3x mark up because of the Apple designed case and software. They are likely even made by the same company in China. Of course..if Kooks were selling several million headers like Apple does, price would come way down. In reality I am gonna guess they sell more like 700-1000 units.

And I really don't want anyone to take anything super personal..I am just passionate about what I do.
