Yes, its worth it but thats a STUPID price. Buy the headers for $100 and do it yourself, or pay someone $200 to get a ported set.

Not that bad of a price IMO if you think of the time it takes to port, not a fun job! Also the fact you need to buy die grinder and porting bits. Some tuners charge MUCH more for factory ported headers.

Its only a good price if you have a lawyer or doctor doing the work

How many of the rest of us can make $100/hr running a dremel?

Of course, since you just happen to have some for sale, yours isn't exactly an objective opinion is it?

I would go with a set that have been flow tested to show improvements over stock. Otherwise it's a gamble.
