the problem probably lies with tooling, I could not buy off their off the shelf BB headers as they were designed for camaros with standard frames, of course the tubular frames I have do offer more clearance than stock frame rails but because stock clearance from pan to ground is about what 8" and I have 4" thay had to custome bend a set which tucked up under teh firewall for teh collectors to have proper clearance, and I still scuffed them up when the front wheels come back on teh ground, this was corrected with bigger snubbers on the lower control arms, I agree that off teh shelf sets should not cost more than $1500, I use Kooks on my street car and they were about that much, but it is not unheard of to pay a good price for custom tubes when the need arises
