Default Group Header buy #2

We are ready to place the second order for 4 into 1 equal length headers that have 1 3/4 primary stepped to 1 7/8 and a true merge collector for $895 in steel. The last batch took about 30 days and we expect them same with these.

Thanks Sterling. It is important to say that these are not intened for street use. I had these made for my 928 race car and are selling them to others with the same requirements.

What is the collector output size? Are these mild or stainless steel?
Thanks

Alright. I'm tempted... very tempted, but then I see this. Mark, are you serious, or are you just trying to CYA?

Let's try a hypothetical "fer instance."

Let's say a potential buyer had a 928 GT that he used for pleasure - not for racing. And let's say he lived in a state that did not require inspection. Aside from possible noise pollution laws, would there be anything that would prevent him from installing these headers and having some spirited fun?

Just curious.

One other thing... How do the colloectors match up to the original flange locations. Just curious if I'll be able to retain my x-pipe or not.

A wife? Hypothetically, of course.

Yes. Sterling said it took him about 30 minutes per side with the engine in.

They will not bolt to anything that was meant to work with the stock manifolds as they are quite a bit longer.

These are for off highway use and not meant for street driving. If you trailer your car to the drag strip or race track than these are perfect for you.

OK... Thanks. I think that puts me out. Still, a nice looking product.

Mark,

What's the drop dead date to place the order..? I am tempted to go for a set... But they would have to sit for a while until I got around to refabbing the X-Pipe I currently have on the car...

Thanks,

Richard

I will place the order as soon as I get commitments from all that said they wanted them. My guess is maybe next week some time. There is even a chance I will put one set on the shelf if it helps.

Hi Mark,

Absolutely awesome...

Are they stainless or mild steel... any coating option...or DIY...

Also are they availalble in a 2 bolt flange as I think that is what my 86 has...

Also are they not intended for streety use because they might drag on the ground... or just a disclaimer... My car has eibachs and bilsteins and I would understand this...

Thanks,

LO
