that's robbery in my opinion. I need to tell my boss to start selling our scrap from work if people will pay that much for mild steel individual bends...wow.
I am guessing that you have a handle on why we charge so much to fab custom headers now. I pay about 30% less each from Jegs but only need 14 pcs to fab a set for big block. The labor required to assemble them well and build a custom merge collector is where the money is in custom pipes.
