Headers only ?. yup seems close to the money for a set of custom one offs.Are they stainless with a decent wall thickness ?. few more bits of pipe ya gotta get but i guess ya know that too.

Thats a reasonable price ,depending on materials and quality of job
If you have a jig its quicker and easier, mild steel works ok ,is easy to cut (flanges ...can do it by hand with an oxy),doesn'r shrink much when welding ,lasts similar to stainless .
stainless needs laser or plasma cutting for flanges, 50% more heat expansion than mild steel . but looks much better,
I buy some from RCC in canada and make others, the RCC ones come with warranty and cost from 500-750 US
Pity they don't make one for your bike ..
