Depending on condition I would say up to a maximum of $350 odd (based on prices headers for Honda B series sell for). Spend some time polishing them, and stick them on trademe... cleaning them up costs next to nothing and will make all the difference.

Here's my Spoon headers before and after a polishing:

holy crap, what'd you use to polish that? I use autosol, but you didn't do that by hand did you?

Yeah man... about 4 hours plus of work, 600, 800, 1000 grit wet sanding then finish with autosol. I just painted the bottom section with high temp gunmetal grey, as plastic bags and things keep getting stuck to them.
