pjdude, I'd look online better than the UAE shops.
It's exactly the same items because they also buy them online same as you can. They try save a little on bulk shipping, then add a ridiculous profit margin - like they double the price!
"It's 3k? OK, sell for 6k, if the customer cries for a discount, make him happy at 5k..."
I've bought headers, suspensions, grills, etc., and it's come out cheaper/better than what the guys here could do for me - every time. And I was able to chose exactly what I wanted, with no screw-ups (oh, they only came like this...) and without waiting forever for the bulk shipping (the shops will wait on your items until they have enough other people's orders to ship together).
So, if you're good online, know exactly what you want, confident communicating with the sales guys in USA, and comfortable with credit card online - then go directly.

What's your truck? F-150 twin-cab?
OK, let's do a test. Let's take a pair of headers for a F-150 - here:

Now, try phone the UAE shops and see what price they quote you for full-length headers for a F-150...
Online with Summit they cost AED 650, plus shipping, so let's assume AED 1,200 delivered to your door in 10 days.
If you phone the UAE shops, I'll bet you can't get less than 3k, and most will start at 6k - try... actually, dang it, I'll do it for you!!! LOL Stand by for results...
