Colin, if you decide to manufacture such components stateside, please let me know as I have several sources for high-end racecar component manufacturing that I could put you in touch with.

For example, while these headers are only of 321SS tubing, they do require a 5axis machined 3D flange (due only to very complex exhaust port transition) a very nice collector at the same time being very durable, light and held down to a price point about 45% of what you spoke of earlier.

For us here in the US, it is rather tough to buy in quid due to exchange rates.

Some of the 'other' p-car header prices you refer to are rather ludicrous given what we pay for full blown complete turbo V-8 exhaust systems in Inconel. Its apparent the aftermarket is used to fund the racing efforts of such suppliers

Colin,

Nice work - I personally dont need 'em (got some snails instead ) but DAAAAYYUUUM that is some sexy ****!!!!

I love the quality of your products - and Chris W's too!!

Lest talk about cost comparisons for a sec:
I have a set of Ti headers and end can for my bike. These are one off "Kit Kawasaki" bits available only to factory teams. They are a WORK of art! However, when I got them for $3500 AU it was approx 35% of the purchase price of my bike.......... does that put it nto perspective for you?

Quality costs - no doubt about it!

BOL

Simon.

I would wait to see the hp results on an otherwise stock 3.6, including a stock ECU with no tuning, before making that statement.
