Well better sell your car then!
Just for starters, your Alternator made in France.
Wheels made in Japan
Transmission made in Mexico
Differental made in Germany
Engine made in Canada
Brake rotors Canada
Brake calipers can't remember off hand but they are off shore also.
Clutch France
Brake calipers are PBR, which if I recall, are made in Australia.

Valve springs are made in either Germany or France as well before they are shipped to Canada for assembly in the plant

Wish i could buy some xs power headers! They're still on backorder, may have to get something else if they don't come in soon!

you could look for some used headers. your budget might still be low though.
