Don't get me wrong, I'm in the same boat: Can i justify the price of a new toxicfab exhaust manifold?? Nope. Would buying one be putting my money where it counts?? Nope. BUT, I'm not going to make custom sticker pretending like it's over priced and not worth people's money when it's really just me who can't justify the expense.

One more thing, if it wasn't for companies like VOLK, Rota wouldn't have amazing styles to copy. Copyrights exist so companies like Rota don't shut down one's like VOLK. Let's hope the lack of them in this industry doesn't do just that. Companies like Rota can hugely stifle progress. (IMO lol )
