I paid $500 bucks in So Cal for headers and side pipes. I learned that there are differences in the processing depending on the color you choose. I had my Kirkham headers and side pipes done in flat black. My finisher told me black is an air dry finish. The Aluminum color is more difficult….baked and then polished. I thought $500 was kind of a rip-off to for the labor to sand blast and spray on the black finish, plus cost of product. Maybe not such a bad price for the Aluminum color. I assumed the high cost was energy cost to bake in an oven, etc. With this knowledge, maybe you can negotiate to a better price depending on the color.
