I'll do the stock tubing sizes first, then bump up to larger if demand is there.

You could probably count me in for 3 sets.

Excellent guys. Is everyone happy with a 4:1 design, medium-long runners, same size piping as stock (for the first one)?

If I recall the speedforce headers have bigger runners so you can run higher boost without too high of EGTs

Default Count me in!

Hi Mark:

I too would be interested. I would like to see a before and after dyno chart with measurable improvements though before commiting, however if the performance is there I would go for it.

I have just installed a new Lindsey Racing wastegate (installs in stock mounting location) and so would like to have that model.

Please keep me informed and let me know when it is available.

Thanks!

Tom

Seems like theres waaaaaaaay more interest in the headers than the 3 inch exhaust!

wait, are you saying this includes the crossover pipe? So aftermarket from the head to the turbo? (You mention tial flanges, turbo flanges, thats all on the X-over pipe)
If thats true, I'm in for a set too. I was not going to get this stuff, but at under 700 like you said, I could justify that. Let us know. You will also have to make downpipes!

Count me in if you can pull it off. Due to the x-over pipe setup, the cost might be higher than you anticipate. In order to do this, you could do it strictly as group buy in order to reduce your costs and just hold a GB every so often. BTW, I would be more interested in large tubing, but don't go too huge. Also, what grade of SS would you use? 304 or 321? I could care less about appearance, I am all performance.

nize- those are available form Turbo Tim on this board, copying someone else's work is generally frowned upon, Tim put a lot of time and effort into creating those headers and they are amazing to see. I know 2K is a lot of cash but it would be incredibly unreasonable to "copy" them.

I am sure Mark is working on his own design and from my dealings with him I am 100% sure that he is not going to copy someone else's products.

Finally, people are figuring out that you DON'T have to spend a lot to get high quality stuff.
Honda, Nissans, Toyotas, BMWs and Porsches are all CARS.
Yes, some are more complicated than others, but to spend 5 times more for the same design and quality because it's for a Porsche instead of a Honda, is just pure stupidity.
BTW, I heard a saying once; the seller of notoriously expensive items is not stupid, but the buyer is.

Just $2000, huh?
Ok, so $2000 on a $10,000 car.
Gives what, 5 to 25hp extra depending on other mods?
Doesn't make any sense for anybody except for the genius who's willing to pay.
Now that's just my 1 cent, cause my 2 cents would have been too much info.

Ok, I'll start on headers too. I have no plans to duplicate such radical & pricy headers: a simple 4:1 design should suffice fpr 90% of the people out there. I'll also make a larger-tube version as well for the 2.8/3.0 & race crowd.

Mark.
