It takes time people. From design to production can be difficult, there are many variables. Makeing jigs for welding geting the tubing bent and flanges made assembly time the there's the coating procedure packing and shipping. All of which can take several weeks just to source, not including making the headers. They are inevitably makeing you the best headers they can for as little money as possible. And I'm sure they are making there every set they are going to sell ever before they ship out the first set. Plus I bet they do the install on buickracers car before they ship the first set, just to make sure their is not figment issues.

Relax they are coming! A major header manufacture will not take your money and run.

When I called them 2 weeks ago I spoke to Nick and he took all of my information. He asked if I wanted to just pay the depost or the whole thing. I told him the whole thing but they still haven't taken out the money out of my acct. yet. Weird...

I started making payment to them over a month ago and they haven't taken anything out yet. So I guess they don't like money in advance??

Front manifold faces the driver's side, then goes over the transmission and meets up with the back manifold, they both dump into a downpipe.

Well these are coated for $600. Can't get much better than that from a major company.
