For what model?  The Mechtech package for the small-six cars is fairly 
reasonable.

Of course, it depends on your frame of reference; if you're comparing to 
5.0 Mustang stuff, nothing's going to be cheap.

Then there's the $7995 + installation that Dinan asks for their E39 M5 
headers.  It's not remotely worth it, of course, and there's much cheaper 
alternatives (Hamann and Kelleners both have decent setups in the $2K 
range) but Dinan prices their stuff high specifically to chase away the 
cost-sensitive.
