Default BPP Headers- Worth the price?

I received a Breathless Performance catalog the other day and they have an interesting 5 piece set of headers in there, but I thought at $1400-1500 they were pretty spendy. Has anyone installed these guys yet and if so were they easier to install than others? Any information or opinions?.............. :)

I have H/C and ATI and the one piece step headers from Breathless. I love them. Although I usually follow the "you get what you pay for" slogan, these are fit and finished with the ceramic coating and look great--worth the money. When I bought them I had not planned to go all out like I did, but the torque curve is even all the way through the rpm range. Ernie at BPP suggested the one piece for my A4. Plan to pay about 6 hours of install time to get them in from a mechanic and they need a little welding too. My tuner also customized the gasket at the ports on the headers are much bigger than the ones on the GM gasket they will send you. There are alot more options out now for less money, but the claims about the product on the website seem to be substantiated :D
