Skyrocketing price of xerd headers.
Is this just me or did the price of xerd headers just sky rocket? I remember a month or 2 ago they were roughly around 300 bucks, looking for something else I stumbled upon them and now I see that theyre close to 500 frigging dollars!!!!!
Theres no way I can buy the same part for 200 bucks more knowing that most people got it for a lot less then I did.
Well I guess when it comes to header time I will look into getting this one instead..
http://www.lextasy.com/sc300_headers_1342_prd1.htm
325 bucks..
vs
499 or 459 depending whose site you visit... not a very hard choice. Especially since not more then a month ago the xerd were a better deal! Bah price gouging... Shame since initially I favored the xerd since I heard noting but good things about them. I could strictly remember retailers praising 10bucks per hp kinda value.. well not anymore..
And for the record no one sells egr block off plates for the 2jz-ge as of yet...

Yeah, I've been waiting to hear from them for the past 3 months. They're supposed to produce headers/catback for the SC400 for us but never got back to us. I spoke to one of their guys over there and they told me they already had a prototype that they've produced and wanted to set up a meeting, but haven't heard back from them even after numerous emails.

I saw these like a week ago offered by www.Naperformance.com for $290 shipped. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/XERD-...spagenameZWDVW
They had 5 different auctions going at one time for them, What happened?

Na performance had them listed at 459 for "sale" so I look at xerd and sure enough they had it at 4 friggin 99.
I hope non-turbo can chime in.

Here was the response I got from NAPERFORMANCE.
"No, they're $459 now, I only have 3 left in stock and
the demand is high so I bumped the price up.
If you guys want to do a groupbuy I can do 20 for
$269.
Regards,
Kevin
