This happened to Hooker Headers by Holley around January.
Holley stopped making Hooker headers for motorcycles and sold their stock for 75% off.

Got some Hooker Troublemakers CHEAP and I love them.
The only downside is if I ever drop the bike I can't replace them.

Me too. I really like the way mine sound and look. On the other hand I probably wouldn't have bought them for full price. It was pretty hard to beat $240 for the set on the NT. I did end up spending another $80 for the quiet baffles.

I'm glad Rinehart isn't going out of business and is just downsizing for now.

Rinehart Crossbacks were some of the best looking pipes going, and I always loved the Rinehart sound.

With all them changes, sounds like the only thing "the same" will be the name.

My suspicious side tells me to wait for feedback on the 'new' pipes to see if they are worthy of your money. They might just have to prove themselves again. Fit, Finish, Sound & Performance. Will it be there? (Not sure the performance was all that great before, except for the Bub7's). Fitment? There were some issues there too, but overall a great sounding pipe with pretty good chroming. Black tips? (Red Black, what's the diff?) LOL

I heard it two days ago from a friend who tried to order them for his new RK.
I would bet the prices on what's in stock at the dealer/stealer just went up!
