Yikes... $500? Pretty sure I could put together a basic tubing header (exhaust ports to cat. flange) for the "cat in front of the motor" configuration in my shed for $400 and still turn a profit on the 'hand crafted' item... and that's including $150 for pre-made header flanges and sensor bungs. And in Australian dollars. Shipping could be an issue though, if most of the customers are in the US. As you say, the size of the market is probably the issue though - there's probably enough of them going through wreckers to soak up most of the market for them.
