The TTI prices are not for the average guy. You would think that like so many other products on the market, the prices would come down since the money spent on development has been paid for long ago.
I am by NO means a guy that hates the rich or is anti-business in any way. Maybe they are struggling in this economy like so many others.
The pisser is that there are so FEW alternatives. One that I know of IS cheaper, but I dont know if they will work for you: Dougs Headers #452. A few members here like to brag on them alot. I have no experience with this header, so ask around. Good luck.
