its not a matter of custom headers being cheap. the custom (ie good) headers for evo's/wrx's/supras are not cheap. yes there are cheap ones out there, but the good ones are just as much as P headers. A good friend(well know P header builder) says that it takes him 1k bucks just in materials plus about 40 hrs to do them. so 40 hrs time 50 bucks and hr(which is cheap for a good fab guy) is 2k plus your 1k in materials, and you at 3k. That doesn't include a bottle or 2 of gas (and yes you'll use that much if its backpurged backpurged). great quality off the shelf honda turbo manifolds go for 1500 bucks, and most of them use a cheaper schedule 10 or 40 pipe(ie weld els/boiler room tubing). I've seen alot of custom evo headers go for that much, and i have also seen a set of wrx headers go for like 10k, but they were built by a big name overseas Co, but i thought they were crap.

U don't want to take that stuff to a fab shop were you are paying hourly, to do them right and get the equal length takes alot of time, esp if its your first time.
