If you don't have to have stainless (not running saltwater), then the Lightnings are $1899 almost everywhere. It does note that the filter needs to be relocated, which would mean it is not included. Any brand you get will not be 100% bolt on.

I think you have to relocate the filter with the CMI's also Paul. NSF

I have always thought that Lightning headers are made from stainless. Just not polished. However, i could be wrong on this one.
