I am waiting right now. 9 business days since he said it would be shipped. I am giving him the benefit of the doubt. I hope it goes well, it is supposed to be an excellent header.


We shall see.

Guys...I'm telling you go to the redline forums and message yeahididit. He sells them for like 200 bucks. He's an excellent welder and an honest businessman. He'll explain the stats but I've seen his welding and I know he does a good job. He's not any way affiliated with my company so that should have a little more bearing for you.

yep.... those things do identical gains to the tog and scdyne, and 1/2 the price

i think the stock gasket even works with his, correct?

I am running one right now, and it is awsome. Definatly good for a few hp (MAYBE 10, probably 5-7), but a much deeper sound. It bolts directly in, except for the fact that you need to get nuts and bolts for the collecter side. The three holes are not threaded for a stud/nut combo.

The build quality is great. His welds are amazing. I think he told me once that he builds custom boat or horse trailers for a living.

It is a true 4-1 shorty style. The runners are really large. My only complaint is that the O2 sensor bung is only on cyl 1. I wish there was somewhere to put it to catch all cylinders, incase of an injector failure/clogging.

Here is a thread over on RLF that talks about it. I definatly feel a gain across the board, not a loss like this guy is claiming.

that's actually a good thing... on my tog i've removed it and installed it so many times while doing testing the bolts in there now are stuck and ready to snap off. when i sell this header i will have to drill out the holes and use bolts and nuts.

i like the bolts/nuts idea alot better

I had the same problem with my collector bolts, 2 snapped off and will need redrilling. I on the other hand will sell my Tog so cheap the buyer will have to do it

So does SCdyne, according to their website.

The Clear Image Header collects o2 readings from all for cylinders, not just one.
