I am so jealous that you can get SS LT's for $200......

I actually want to get rid of my LT's and go midlength to get my ground clearance back. Plus I'll probably be going butt mount turbo since it's the only way I can keep my A/C.

PST wtb midlength block huggers in stainless. :-)

Have you received your sample race header from the manufacturer yet? I'm very interested in the race version.

Not yet. We've been busy with local builds I haven't talked to them in a month or so. Should be pretty soon, I will check in with them on Monday.

Thanks

I'm in the market for some new headers. How long of a turn around is expected for the race headers without egr/air and 02 bungs on the inside? Would love to pick a set of these up if they will be available in the near future

Finally got a response. Our rep was in Europe and took longer than usual to get back to us. We have been told our test fit pair is on the boat on the way over. Which means approx two-three weeks before we have them on hand. Hopefully they fit first go around. Ill let you guys know how it goes when they come in.

Still waiting on pricing. We have a ball park idea, but once thickness/material etc is set we should have exact pricing for everyone. I would assume it will be around the week we test fit these headers.

Thanks

Stepping over dollars to pick up nickels. The box and weight isn't bad. Hell fly a guy over , around trip put in a suit case fly back.He even gets to see Shanghai. They can recoup the cost in the first 10 orders. that they are going to lose because they dont have them .

Were not in a rush. The current ones we have are selling pretty well, and it doesn't make sense for us to spend extra cash for a week difference knowing were going into the slow season as it is. Sending them over by sea is free for us.

Thanks

I thought it was going to be 2-3 weeks before you would have a set to test fit ? So it will still be 2-3 weeks away before you have a price !

Finally got them in. Everything so far looks good. Tubes measure a full 1 3/4" welds and flanges look good. Collector is a full 3". We should have them test fitted within a week.

That was quick , surprising turn around , what did you do light a fire under their *** ! Those headers look real good no air tubes and 1 3/4 Are the O2 bungs on the inside , what gauge wall thickness ? Does the the stainless steel appear to be the same quality as before , will a magnet stick to them ?

O2 Bungs are on the inside. We haven't choose wall thinness, or type of material yet. Once we find out if they fit ok gauge, material, boxes, etc will all be decided on. All will affect price, so we will have to consider all avenues.

Thanks
