Yes they are still available. The price is dictated by quantity so for a smaller batch the price will be some what higher. What amazed me the most is how he made the initial prototype. He showed up at my office with my car on the hoist and 6 hours later he was done. He then took the finished header back to his shop and made the jig. With the way the collectors are set up you can increase the primary length quite easily. You can also experiment with different collector sizing.
If you are interested in getting a set please email me. I can set up another group buy or we can order just a single set.

Mark very very nice, six hours to do this makes me sick. It took me longer than that to do one pipe let alone a set! It also amazes me that he has so few joins. I suppose you get better with practice and mine was the first set I had made, that is my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

Do you know how long they are? This guy is good and that is remarkable value, you deserve to sell heaps of these, I would also love to see some dyno testing.
Now where did I put my anti depressants?

are these only available in the stepped primart diameter, or is it possible to get them with a constant diameter as well?

I'm sure you can get anything you want, it will just cost more.
Devek's Level II headers are constant diameter......

Rational for not wanting a stepped headers is??

Hey,

Mine look a lot different than your's Sterling. Looks like they suffered some disassembly in shipping. Darn UPS guys!

Alright, all joking aside. These headers are a solid product. They are well built. The modular design is going to make them a snap to install. Awesome!

Off to get coated......

I am still waiting for my headers from the other company (not 928 intl) and I am still paid in full????
I guess I am either patient or not so smart.

I had a local headers specialist make me a set of stainless headers and he spent more than 20 hours. On top of that I'm not sure I like them as much as these mild steel ones.

It always fascinates me to watch a true craftsman at work. They make it look so easy.

The custom exhaust guy is a one man shop and as evidenced by the quick 30 day or so completion of this order quite willing to work with us. He has been in business for some time but there is no guarantee that 6 months from now or a year from now he will have the time and inclination to build more headers for us especially at that price. Something like this it is probably better to get them BEFORE you NEED them. If there is enough demand for slip fit race headers Mark Anderson can arrange for another batch to be made and determine the ETA .

Would it be possible to get them without collectors? What impact would it have on price? I was planning to use Flowmaster "scavenger" collectors. I have used them before and they did add power and torque on the dyno over regular merge collectors on the same header. (I have to dig up the sheets to remember how much). Still need to measure to see if I can fit them under the car though as they are rather long.

How many sets would I have to order to get a volume discount?
