I doesn't cost THAT much for intake headers and exhaust.

I bought all three of mine off of Ebay.

Headers and down pipe were like 80
Catback exhaust was only 150
(It sounds sick, don't talk shi*)
New intake was about 40

I also got both tower braces, and rear lower tie brace all for under 60.

These prices include shipping. In fact, shipping costed me at least 1.5 times the price of the actual parts.

I WILL ADMIT THAT PARTS SOMETIMES SEEMED CHEAP OR NOT WELL DESIGNED. However, this is the sellers fault. Two sellers sold cheap crap, but I've had quality parts from qualitysellers off of Ebay.

I agree w/ u... not everything on ebay is crap... my purchased a lot of thing from ebay for my turbo kit almost a year ago and it's still working fine... Only problem I've got was the coolant hose broke and it stained my car (I lended my car to my g/f and she didn't said anything to me... since coolant is corrosive, it staind my engine...im sooooo pissed) but the car is ok...
