Thanks again to everyone on this forum. You have all been great and are the reason we decided to move forward with the stainless steel header.

We believe our stainless steel header to be superior to all others. We hope you agree.

 

wow good deal, can you toss this on a dyno and see the gains? that would sell me forsure.

 

Since our stainless header is identical in design to our steel header, the power gains will be identical: 15 HP and 15 ft./lbs. to the wheels. Actually, the stainless header may perform a little better considering the tubing is thinner than the steel tubing so the inside diameter of the tube is larger. Another benefit to our stainless header is it weighs a little less. So shall we sign you up?

Thanks for your comments.

 

i will see, i got money to **** away, just dont know if i want a header/downpipe

 

You do...you know it.

 

Hmmm, I'm interested, but the header combo is significantly more expensive than other products. Am I correct in thinking that without the group buy, a stainless header with stainless DP and O2 bung/plug would run $800 plus shipping?

You have a PM.

 

I might be in depending on how many people are in on this. Im sorry that i missed the boat on the last one. Im PM'ing you.

 

Without the sale price:
Up-grading the down-pipe to stainless and adding an extra stainless O2 bung brings the retail price to $686.12 for the header and cat-less down-pipe plus shipping. With a hi-flow converter you would be at roughly $800.00. Please keep in mind when comparing our products to others, our hi-flow converter is a metallic core substrate converter NOT the old school style ceramic cores like everyone else is offering. Give me some price comparisons to equivalent stainless header/DP packages, and I'd be happy to take a look. But they must be an apples to apples comparison. In the mean-time I will take a look at the cheaper Magnaflow style converters. If this is the way to reduce the cost to match other companies, and this community doesn't mind sacrificing performance, we can do that.

 

Yep, that's what I figured. I'm interested in the 3" stainless header with stainless DP (no cat) and O2 bung/plug. Count me as #1.

 

Thanks for your order. We now have two confirmed stainless header orders.
Keep them coming.
Thanks again.

 

I would just like to say that Dan and his company does top notch work!

I had my 3" turbo back custom exhaust done at Clear Image and its amazing!

 

Tempting considering the ZZP might be falling through. Do you have any clips of your combo on an SS/SC 2.0L?

 

I believe these vids are with their 3" header, DP, and exhaust.

I up-dated pricing on the 1st post to reflect using the ceramic core cat converters, like every other company is using. Knock quite a bit off the prices.

The only way to reduce the price any more is to compromise our finish work and build quality. And we are NOT going to do that. Our products are pretty much accepted as the BEST in the industry in every market we have entered. It would be foolish to tarnish our own reputation for quality just to make a buck.

Take a look and let me know what you all think.

 

im interested in the header only, however i have built my own custom exhaust and need to build a new downpipe. is it possible to get a steel (not stainless) 2.5" flange to mate to the header to facilitate building a custom downpipe???

 

We do not use a flat flange on our header. We would just send you a universal 3" female socket with ball flange. No problem.

Give us a call if you would like to order.

Thanks.

 

Anyone else interested in this? We're still at 2/10...

 

oohf...i need to win the f'in lottery! i NEED a new header/dp combo soon. i'd jump on this today if i were more sure of being able to pay by the end of august...maybe next time.

 

does ur catted down pipe bolt on to the pacesetter header?

 

The Pace Setter header requires it's own down-pipe like every other mid-length header. The factory down-pipe, nor our factory replacement, nor our header down-pipe will work.

 

I know a couple people from the ZZP group buy are looking at the CIA one, but are concerned about the price. Keep this in mind;

It costed him $200 to have a new flex pipe welded in. Spend a little more now, save a lot later when you don't have to replace a flex pipe.

 

Thanks for the support.

Also, I believe we are less expensive at the 10 lot pricing. And our primary tubes are longer, have less bends, our collectors are longer and, I'm proud to say, are PERFECTLY formed with no defects. I'll post some high resolution links shortly to show what I am talking about.

Thanks again.

 

How many are you up to now?

 

The number hasn't changed. However, due to recent events and the fact I have been contacted by several forum members via email or PM, and brought in stainless material, lets go ahead and convert this group purchase to a simple sale. Best price offered above for the best stainless header available. And, we here at Clear Image Automotive offer a "Lifetime Warranty" on our products. This will be a one time deal on the stainless header. We will NOT offer the above prices again. Our headers are built to last forever, offer longer primary tubes, a perfectly formed, heavy wall, 304 stainless full length collector and workmanship and finish work above and beyond anything else available. I'm not trying to sound arrogant. I'm just confident in our workmanship.

Thanks again everyone.

 

Wow, this is an awesome deal. How long is it on for?
How much would it cost for shipping to b0v 1a0?
What is the payment plan that you are offering through august 31st?

Answer all these questions, as im ready to buy asap.

Thanks
