The first version coming out has hand built tubular headers. He has plans to make cast headers and when that happens he will offer them to the people who bought the first kits w/handbuilt headers at cost plus exchanging out original headers. Get it?

I thought the ideal was to build a nice kit cheap , that everyone could buy? I really don't think 7000.00 is cheap ! Maybe I am a cheap ***. LOL

For what you are getting $7,000 isnt bad. I charge $10,000+ for a custom Twin Setup, and am still thousands cheaper than my competition.

I must have missed the memo on the cast headers part. I never read anywhere that he planned to go that route. I always thought he was going with a tube/log header. Thats what I didn't get.

Definately agreed! Find me any other twin kit (other than APS junk) that will require such LITTLE modification for the price.

Can't wait to see a finished product!! Also, glad to see two similar small businesses getting along instead of chewing each others asses!

BTW - ^ This guy is awesome, I've done some business with him recently and he has by far, the best customer appreciation out of all the places I have dealt with recently!!

Thats the cool thing with our system. Your motor and chassis is the limitation.

Awesome. What size are the downpipes? Will the single kit have the same downpipe size, only on one side?

A word of advice from someone who has first hand experience...

I would ditch the V-Bands underneath the car. FLP header owners learned the hard way, Multiple turbo companies have as well. V-Bands are effective, simple, and quick, however, anywhere they can get hit or damaged cause serious issues.

Go 3 Bolt, or move the v-bands higher than the transmission. I know 3 bolt is "ghetto fabulous," but the v-bands are nothing but a headache under the car.

-Wade
