I'm not going to try and sugarcoat it. Bottom line is that we copied Porsche Motorsports design.
We knew we could offer a comparable product at a far more reasonable price.
I have two sets on the shelf if anyone needs them.
Email me direct if you have any further questions.

Thanks for the feedback.
Another thing, PAINTRACER quotes: "You will lose your heat unless you want to fab a small u-pipe from your stock headers to your heat ducting."
And tar6day quotes: "They come straight off the turbo."
How do you lose your heat function if these test pipe is connected off the turbos?

PAINTRACER as you quoted: "You will lose your heat unless you want to fab a small u-pipe from your stock headers to your heat ducting."
Please explain.

I know that part! Have them on the car now. I meant the red heater hose looking things that connect the outlet from the headers to the CAT paipes. I've looked but can't find any pix. I'm out of town so I can't take any myself.

Header heat might be enough for cool climates (i.e. 40-50 at the lowest) but not for cold climates? I certainly noticed the lack of heat when I had a couple of the oval hoses on the cats loose and it was 35 F outside.
