Lets set this straight here and now, I never threatened you in any way shape or form, I never said I would leave negative feedback. My exact words were don't expect "positive feedback" That does not mean I'm giving you a negative or neutral feedback...it means you will not be getting positive feedback.
As far as me not recommending this header to anyone who is looking for headers, Well I don't typically recommend people buy products that I wasn't happy with.
Like I said in my earlier post, Had I read through several pages to the post that mentioned the problem I would have ordered the revised headers instead of these. I posted about grinding the bung down in my post above before I saw your E-bay reply and that is probably the easiest way to fix the situation.
When I contacted you on e-bay It wasn't to get a partial refund, It wasn't to ask for a full refund. It was to point out that you sent me a product with an obvious defect that wasn't mentioned in the description.

Thank you for your comments. Your peace has been heard. The O2 bung has been noted now & before. Our new version is now the only version we carry as of yesterday. The rest of our new batch will be in tomorrow or Thursday.

New version has these changes only:
-Bung has been revised
-Flanges are tig welded inside & out/Port matched primaries

Thank you guys for the orders we have received. We really do appreciate your business.

Had a couple private questions about the flange welds etc for existing customers. Just wanted to clarify. The additional welds were not for a structure issue we were worried about. It was more for looks, and guys looking to port the headers. Originally a few were concerned about porting them larger and there not being enough material to do so. So on our second batch we had them welded inside and out. For one it looks a little better to see a tig weld on the outside, and two it leaves plenty of meat for those looking to port our headers as well.

Thanks

I bet you can easily modify it . . . Certainly, for less money than a $900 set of Kooks !

Sean,

You guys are doing a great job. Naturally, issues pop up in any product and I'm sure you guys will make any corrections necessary. Thank you for making your products affordable, without sacrificing quality or customer service !

When they come out, I'll be getting a set of 1 7/8" headers and a true-dual exhaust system from you guys !

Do you know if you'll have 2 1/2" and 3" diameter systems ?

Sean,

Excellent . . . It's VERY cool to be able to talk directly to a company and work out problems together . . .

Try that with one of the "Big Names" and people will REALL see the "difference".

Thanks for everything you're doing !

I'm excited about the truck headers! People used to sell some decent stainless ones on ebay but they disappeared right about the time I bought my truck and I don't want shorty junk.

I will definitely be getting some of your truck longtubes if they properly fit 99-02. Preferably with no air/egr junk on them.

So can you install the headers as is with the odd o2 bung? I've seen a few people think it's a major issue and others say it's really no big deal?

Speed Engineering

We will be doing a 3" true dual system.

thunderstruck507: Yep, they will be basically have the same design as our LS1 Race version, but for trucks. Our first batch will be 99-06 trucks with option of a Y-Pipe.

Thanks

Yes, they will work just fine for readings. The ones that are concerned about our first design are referencing the restriction in the collector as exhaust passes by. There is about an 1/8" of an inch more material sticking in the pipe than usual. Basically concerned the restriction will lower hp.

Sean

Thanks for the reply. I sent you a pm also feel free to ignore it if you want.

Let's say it would lower horsepower. My thought would be on a basic bolt on car (lts, ory, cat back, ported tb, etc) the effect would be minimal and not noticeable? Am I wrong?

Speed Engineering

Honestly, with what we have seen on the dyno with exhaust changes & hp gains etc I would be surprised if even a hp is lost.

You think about all the bends & restrictions basically hitting a wall as it goes through some mufflers. A 1/8" piece in a 3" straight tube in my option is not going to be the issue. Shoot some O2 sensors are bigger than others that would cause a larger restriction than the bung.

Excellent, Sean !

Put me down for a set of 1 7/8" headers and a 3" true-dual system.

Will you have a choice of either an "H" pipe and an "X" pipe ?

Personally, I think that an "H" pipe sounds better . . .

Thanks !

224 cam, ported heads, ported intake, ported throttle body, ford injectors, headers, ory, Phab lm1 style exhaust and a tune. It's going to be fun now that the car can breath.

Will this be an over-the-axle setup or just dumps? If over the axle, Im in!

Old Blue could use some more HP

Speed Engineering

iTrader: (35)

Our true dual system will probably be a dumps before the axle with an X-Pipe.

Thanks

Could you do an under the axle dual setup as well?

Speed Engineering

iTrader: (35)

Haven't really put much thought into it to be honest with you. You guys are interested in an exhaust under the rear end?

I think its something that would take off after the misinformed on here got past their misconceptions. I would love to see one or even just the ability to turn a dumped dual setup into an under the axle setup. A company on ebay sold the back half kit (just the 2 pipes under the axle) and Corsa clone tips for 199 a year ago. They just stopped making them so I think there is a definite market for them..
