Im not trying to split hairs with you, but your posting pictures of the “strip” kit and all it is are headers. So you are posting pictures of either an unfinished kit, or only portions of a kit. Making it look like an incomplete kit. But you say you wont do that.

Im not trying to be an *** about this, but you totally mis-represented what I said, and then turn around and somewhat contradict yourself.

I hope your street kit looks as good as the race kit, id love to buy the kit, but I do not want to buy an entire kit, and your company is putting restrictions on Hot parts sales.

Good luck to you, I cant wait to see completed pics of both kits, race, and street.
To us, most of the science of engineering is in the design of the headers.. the rest is secondary. I apologize if my tone sounded as if I was upset by your post, that is completely not the case. I know you meant nothing negative by your post.

Bill, Any idea how the turbo will perform under the hood rather than the rear location as with the STS (there is more heat under the hood, or is that not even an issue)?

Also, any estimated guess as to when the Street kit will hit the market?

Amazing looking header! Perty welds. What is your planned differences between the street and strip setups (if your ready to tell)? I'm guessing that the strip one will not keep AC and probably require some shuffling of accessories (mainly the alternator)...but that all depends on where your routing the turbo and piping. A2A or A2W intercooler? And what price you looking at going for?

Hey, thoes are my headers!!!!! hahaha

yeah thoes are burns collectors, i bought all the pipe because i was going to make the kit with a buddy of mine, then he bailed on me, left me with $1800 worth of pipe, collectors, flanges, etc...and he got a house and a gf so i was not important anymore. Marko and his guys are takin care of me, slowly but surely. Hopefully i will have the car before next year

Cant wait for you guys to stop slacking ( haha jk) and finish off the kit. the headers look amazing so i cant wait for the rest of it. guys the pics dont do the headers justice, you need to see em in person.

definatly not buying a street kit, car is FAR from a street car. no accessories no nada. and i provided all pipes, intercooler, turbo, wastegate, etc. i was ready to go then my buddy bailed on me.

i do not know the status as if the street kit is up for grabs or not regarding that. ask marko.

Zach, hasn't your car been "getting worked on" for two months?

How the hell long is it going to take them? I thought it would have been done by now. I want a ride in that machine.

haha yeah its been there for 2 months, ask marko as to its finishing date. i got LOTS of other things to do to the car once i get it back, hes just providing the fabricating/welding because thoes are my weak points. i gotta do the entire fuel system, brakes (new lines, calipers, master cylinder), interior, etc.
