These look like larger versions of your current systems. I had a set in my 98 and I like how they worked but they aren't even close to equal length. I recall a 6-7 inch difference between the longest and shortest tube. Did you miss speak or is there something I'm missing here?

Based on this post old post from a few years ago, you are Nick Filippides.


This post was originally made by Nick Filippides 10jan03, I am resubmitting it in support of his project.


I am currently in the process of starting a project. One that depends greatly on the response of the Olds community. I'm working on getting a new High Performance cast iron 455 Olds block manufactured. You heard right! High Perf 455 block. I've made all the nessesary contacts with an engineer and foundary. Most of the important details as to what upgrades will be made to the new blocks have already been finalized. Let's just say these blocks will be built to handle anything you can throw at them; this includes nitrous, blowers, turbo chargers etc..
The blocks will cost $3800.00, which is about the same price as any other high perf aftermarket block out there excluding Chevrolet. If your really interested you can find me at oldsguru@aol.com or you can call me at home 631-477-3310 (evenings). If your not in the market then if you can please do your best to spread the word. You have to agree, if this deal comes to fruition, it may be the best thing to happen to the Olds community in a very long time. Thank You Nick Filippides
(oldsguru)
Nick please don't troll other header company's thread, all I can say is wow. I'd give you a 90 ban but I think it's embarrassing enough that I could figure this out in 2 minutes. I also traced the IP and I can tell you are on LI too. Wow.

LI = Long Island, NY. I believe that's where ARH is located.

There's nothing wrong with competition and a healthy rivalry, but c'mon...Kooks and QTP are both board sponsors. I see nothing wrong with ARH wanting to get a piece of the pie, but become a sponsor. Don't register an account just to troll the forums and bash the competition. It's so...dirty and underhanded IMO.

Personally, I think it's nice to see someone make a high quality 2" stainless header for the f-body. It's nice to see that over 10 years later, respected companies and individuals are still putting R&D into our cars.

George, can these headers be optioned with high velocity merge collectors? I think that's valuable information.

He is one of the people from ARH, Matt I like his bio http://www.nmraracing.com/forums/member.php?u=1730
where he states 40 years exhaust exp! "He is 42 years old"!!!! How does that equate? He worked for us for 2.5 years. In the sales dept.

Hey George... i've spoke to you a few times... i'm wondering if it was Nick I spoke to as well... I used to work at RKSport back in the day. I was the guy over there trying to persuade the management to carry your product... unfortunately those knuckleheads didn't care for many of my recommendations, but I was just a number there so...
