Yeah, but the rest of what they're bolted to sure will.

Which one is "expensive"? Which would you prefer to shell out 5 grand for?

Headers will never argue with you. Headers will never cheat on you. Headers will never try to boss you around. Headers will never try to "change" you. Headers will never take half of what you own.


In summary, headers are cheap.
Buy her the ring on the stipulation that she has to buy you the headers. In the end YOU spent the same $$ and you both got what you wanted. Otherwise you have to listen to her b!tch and nag about how you wasted all your deniro on your stupid boat when you should have been thinking of her....yawn.



......OH, and they arent entitled to half as long as you never say I do.

Fortunately, my other half of nearly 20 yrs understands completely that boating costs plenty O dollars and never complains. Besides, boating is how we met in the first place. Therefore, me spending 25 grand on a motor should be considered "romantic" shouldn't it

You wouldn't believe what stainless tubing costs these days. The tubing alone is half of the cost of the headers. Btw Chris Sunkin, why do you have Elton John as your avatar?

Elton's real name is "Reginald". Think about it.
