Thanks Duane. As I've said I cannot take much if any credit for the artistry, I'm just the guy running the website. There's some bright & hardworking people who deserve much more credit.

If I win the lottery though, I may order a set with a slab of glass & make a kick-*** coffee table.

Why are you comparing those nice new headers to farm equipment?

Yes, those are the primary catalysts, 2 per side. There are secondaries after the header flange as well.

We'll have some dyno information available on these soon, but suffice it to say that airflow will be improved drastically!

Here we go guys, all finished up. This set doesn't have the locations for the factory heat shields, the customer has elected to ceramic coat them after we test-fit. I'm really pleased with how these turned out. It seems crazy to me that there's so much left on the table for the aftermarket to do, but businesses have to make money or they go under. I guess the same is true for the automakers as well as us little guys!

Very nice...reminds me of the old F1 headers from the late 60's and early 70's.

Taking those primary cats out will make the car substantially louder. How will you deal with that? What is the weight versus stock?

Are these inconel?

^^^Don't want to put words in Stuart's mouth, but it's my understanding that they can tune the muffler to restrict more sound without restricting gas flow to the same degree.

I'm considering it. If the dyno results are good and we can get a sound close to stock (valves open), I may give this a try.

Subject to some degree of change, since these are still in the final prototyping stages (I hope to have sign-off in 2-3 weeks time.)

Manifolds in 304 Grade Stainless + Performance ECU Tune (Regular Price $1495.00) will be $5995.00.

Manifolds, ECU Tune, 100 Cell Secondary Catalysts + Performance Filters will be $7495.00.
