Oh I understand what quality stainless headers cost, but I'm talking specifically about the ones in the links.

I've watched those 2 for at least a year now. One morning they were $185, next morning they're $540!!

Supply and demand, (Or maybe they switched to a good ceramic coating)

Nope no coatings, they're just stainless.

No supply. When these Ebay/Chinaparts companies run out of stock they don't pull the ad, rather they double or triple the sale price until they get stock again.
