Anyone know if an O2 extension cable is required for my header/dp with converter on a stock exhaust setup? I'm getting it Thursday and I want to be prepared... Thanks!

 

No extension is required for the O2 after the cat, the O2 lead going to the header needs to be pulled out of frame hold down. this is just a plastic push pin that holds the lead to frame. very easy to do, just need a good pull or use a flat head screwdriver to pry it up.

 

I just wanna know if the flex sections came in today so hopefully mine will be shipped
??

 

Not as of yet, but the day isn't over yet either

 

This is really starting to suck. I paid in full the 27th of june and it hasn't even been shipped. I know its not your guys fault because your waiting for the flex sections and you don't make them in house so i'm not mad at you guys i just really want the header and downpipe

 

well i aint said anything so far, but i didnt even order a downpipe, just a header so i aint waitin for flex sections to come in ... and im still waiting as well..

 

When did you pay in full? I was the 11th person to pay in full

Any updates?

 

hey guys just to let you know, i talked to Dan today and he said he got the flex sections today, so i bet yalls stuff is going to ship out within the next day or two...

 

Thanks for the update kwest

 

Did you ask for yours to be coated?

 

nope

 

im running a 2.8, 60#'s, n an intake. when i put my 4 to 1 header 3 in. d/p with no cat and my dc sports exhaust all on will i have to get it retuned cuz of the airflow?? or can i just beat on it a soon as it gos on??

 

It will only "add" on top of the current tune you have now. Its only getting rid of the air quicker and more effieciently thus creating more air flow and more room for the 'tune' to work. basically.

 

I took an extended weekend with my family.

The first order of flex sections arrived today. Todd will be assembling DP's tomorrow.

We did ship a few orders last week. The header only order shipped and a tracking number was emailed. Please check your email. It will be coming via Fed Ex.

Everyone please understand, of the 25 down pipes we need to get built, only 3 are the same. That means every other one is being custom built to each customers specifications. After going through every invoice and creating the build sheet for the shop, I never should have allowed so many options. The plus side to this is every one of you has a down-pipe and header combination being buit specifically for YOU. The down-side is we have to build 22 different down-pipes.

Also, some combo's are shipping out of order. Ceramic coating adds a week to the process so it doesn't make sense to let other orders sit. Please remember, this was a group purchase to allow everyone to get in together and save money. No products were built or in stock at the close of the GP. With parts being ordered as soon as we had everything production ready, I think we have done a good job getting a product, which didn't exist, from development to production fairly quickly. Remember, when ordering parts there are three categories to consider:
1. Fast shipping
2. Low price
3. High quality.

Like the old saying goes, "pick two". In this case you guys got the discount prices and the highest quality header available.

Now please don't get me wrong. We really love this forum and dealing with all of you. I'm not mad or up-set at any of our customers for asking for up-dates, etc. But consider this; with private messages, forums thread responses, email responses and phone calls, I estimate I spent 3 hours today writing, posting or giving phone up-dates about the header and down-pipe. As a result, what I didn't get done was to shape the ports on 10 Cobalt headers so Todd could do the finish work on them when he comes in tomorrow morning.

As I keep saying, we are a small shop with just a handful of us doing all the work. As such we can either be in the shop working on your parts, or we can be on the computer or phone with you explaining what is left to be done. They're your parts, you all decide how you want us to spend our time.

So, who's wants a daily up-date?

 

Sorry for being a pain dan lol I just really want this thing im excited. This is the first header I have EVER bought for any car. I never thought I would buy a header for any car as long as I lived. That's why I just can't wait to get my hands on this!

 

I just hope you get me the header by next week, but its doubtful if you are only that far into it. I really wanted to put it in while I have the head off the car, but I have no choice, i'll have to wait and do it later. Thats life, its all good.

 

yOUR saying you should of never offered so many options for the dp how many options did you offer? Its either you want a 3 inch exit or a 2.5 you want the slip over thing or you dont and wheter or not you want a extra bung thats only 3 options!

 

forget the update for now. get ur butt in there and work too so i can get my stuff haha just playing but yeah man we understand what you are saying and all. we will wait patiently

 

Umm, you're forgetting the cat or catless and also the ceramic coating and the stainless downpipe and also the downpipe can be made 2.5" or 3" and you can have a 3" with a 2.5" exit and you can have a ball and socket or a factory flange or a slip fit exit in 2.5" or 3" and now there is a stainless header option... All in all that makes just about every header unique... Mathematically with about 15 different options per combo, thats 15^2 = 225 different possible header/dp combos... Hmmm...

To the people who are bitching about this, if you didn't want a custom header, you shouldn't have bought one... It's a smaller shop that does good quality work, not some huge mass producer in China working 24/7. If you wanted something quickly you shoulda bought a ZZP or CA or Vibrant or Pacesetter or any of the other headers that are pre-made and ready to ship... I am just about the most impatient person in the whole world, and I am gonna be patient for this because I know it will be a nice product... Soo let's give Dan and Beth and Clear Image some respect and let them do their jobs...

 

i didnt get an email.. but ill take ur word for it

 

It just sucks that dan himself said it wasn't going to be one of those gb where you purchase it and a month later still don't have your product. But looks like its turning into that type of gb. When he said a couple weeks and they will be shipped I was hoping id already have it by now. Looks like it'll be closer to august instead of the middle of july cuz that's already past

 

3 options?

• 3” with converter, reduce to 2 ½” with welded flange, extra O2.

It took 45 minutes just to compile the above list.

Anyways, I'm going to try and ship a couple orders today. Todd has been working on down-pipes all day. I'll be working on header ports after shipping.

We're getting there guys. We will NOT rush production and compromise the quality Clear Image Automotive is know for, simply to ship parts faster.

I'll be back on-line later tonight.

 

What is wrong with you? why would you waste 45 minutes making that list
