I waited on the OP since I thought they were hella over priced, and this sounds reasonable. They all look the same, no cats, no resonators, no merge, just a metal pipe like my Invidia catless front pipe which was $200.
In my past experience it's the quality of the steel and welds.. First my welds broke, I had them re welded and the. Just rusted out or cracked.. I lived in central Texas, not known for salted roads during the winter lol, and they rusted. At the time that's what "everyone" was running and out of the three different headers one lasted awhile and seemed to be great quality, my first one, the second set on my 96 hatch lasted but rusted after awhile, not a rust through but worse then what I liked under my hood for a nice shiny show piece, the one for my 95 coupe was the one I had the most problems with and the one I owned the least amount of time..
