[T.L.]

I just purchased some block hugger headers for my LS1. I got quoted a price of $800 to make them locally, or $500 to purchase a stocked overseas part locally.

I went onto an overseas site and purchased them delivered to my door within a week for $418US (approx $390AU). The money I saved will enable me to do other things to the vehicle that I would not have been able to do.

I do support local business but cracked it when Gerry Harvey and his mates started to get antsy about products being brought in from overseas far cheaper than they are being sold here. I feel its funny that Myers, DJ's, Harvey Normal etc..... were the first to source items made in the cheaper countries first in order to make a higher profit for their shareholders while effectively closing down the local production, then cry poor when everybody else does it!!!!!.

Anyway, that my 5 cents, and one day that maybe 10cents as it costs more than 5 cents to make 5 cents nowdays.
