Why are boxster headers so expensive compared to 911 headers??? I see on ebay all the time 911 headers for 200 bucks, etc..., while boxster headers are going to 600+. Same header just backwards flange. So if I buy some 911 headers can I cut off the flange and have them welded back on but turned around? I saw an auction today for 911 headers sell at 120 bucks (these right here,

So even if it cost 200 bucks for some joe schmoe to weld 6 pipes you would be ahead. Any experts wanna say the feasibility of this?
