If you want updates, you are better off getting them from the dash. The fabricator is not on this forum.

Nobody was insulting the man. I think you got my posts all wrong. All I was trying to say is $300 is more appealing than $600 (for ovious reasons). Me personally (Not to brag) I don't have a problem paying $1000 for a great header with proven results. I don't want to ruin the thred. I'm just looking out for my fellow forum members in my opinion. Don't make me look like the enemy here.

Sounds like you're contradicting yourself.

Here's a thought of mine...

I used to have a Stillen header, which is a 4-1 design, and I always had a problem with the design of it. It had a very nice header piece, with equal length primaries, and it had a V8 style 2.5" triangle collector where it meets the b-pipe. But, where I think they messed up, is that the secondary pipe is only a 2". So it always troubled me that the gases come flying down the primaries, merges, and then literally hits a wall, as it suddenly gets crammed into a 2" pipe without a smooth transition. I wish I still had that header, so I could fab up a 2.5" downpipe and see if it would've performed better. I also wonder if that's the reason that the average whp gain with the 4-1 Stillen was about 7-10, whereas the 4-2-1 Hotshots and SSACs tend to make more high rpm power, at about 9-14 whp. Hmmm...

Here's a pic of my old header that should help my story...

From this side of the pond $600 seems very reasonable . . . .

$500 seems a bit more reasonable but if it turns out real nice and peaks the performance of other competitive headers im in.
