i just place my order:P
Awesome, keep `em coming guys. This sale ends in 10 days.

It clears the water pump pipe, the half-shaft may or may not be removed, depending on how you want to approach the install.

how many do you have lined up now?
Zero! can't take one until their all done.

We collectively think about when to place a sale, I'll talk it over with the guys.

No special tools required... Just a 3/8 wrench, and some patience!

The header wrap is included, yes, and no that primary doesn't touch the firewall...

Our downpipe is available from our dealers only as it is not a sale item. The price you see on the website is our MSRP price, dealers may sell for less.

It will definitely bolt to any cat back that bolts into the stock location.

i was at the welders today, the tally is 113 headers... its like a sea of headers. so doing some arithmetic shows that they may be a little behind schedule. im going to push for them to release the ones they have completed citing ppl have paid for units up front for now. i'll keep everyone posted....

Ok so are all the tubes the same length? And other than removing the old stock header and down pipe is there anything else to remove to complete the install? I find 3 1/2 hr. for this header bolt on hard to believe if that is all you have to remove. I understand that taking your time and working magic to correctly get this unit in place will take time but 3 1/2 hr.???? Thanks for any info any one, and sale is over 4/30/08 hoping to order by then!!

It's a lot of messing around, getting things perfect, lined up and all the header bolts in tight. It may seem like a walk in the park, but it is indeed quite involved. The only way to really see why it takes so long is to actually do one.

its 1am here, and Greg and I just finished transferring Victory's car to our shop successfully, from Niagara Falls, (enough looks on the way) including a friendly wave from a black SS! at this point I need some sleep.

Tomorrow begins a big hassle of engine mount creation vs. a visit to the welders to push the possession of the first batch. We'd like to get them so that our promise on free electro polished units can be fulfilled. The welders worry that we will leave the remainder of the units stagnant, however, I don't see how that possible since the material is worth quite a bit.
