BlownYellow was first in line.

If you do 130 I'll do the shipping. If not, we will call it $115 and you we can add whatever shipping optioin you wan on top of the 115 price.

That's what I'm looking to get. These headers are in good shape. They have the Carb # on them and everything. I swapped them out to go with Hooker Competition headers and for all of the trouble of welding up a million mandrel bends, I would say these headers are worth it for the extra power they make and for being able to use the stock exhaust. Plus lots of other things had to be fabricated/modified to get long tubes to fit. That's no the case with shorty headers.

I'll try and get some pictures of them. Like I said condition is excellent. Infact, some of the shipping paint is still visible in spots where it didn't burn off.

They have surface rust on them, but that is the extent of the rust. This very common for any header that is not ceramic coated. It does not hurt the header. This type of rust also does not mean the headers are nearing the end of their usable service. I'd say they still have 95% of the their life left and doubt they'll ever rust out. Also, no dents in the tubes at all. I can get pictures but it might take a little while, but I can if you would like them.

I know they have 2.5" collectors, but the tubes are 1.5" I think. They are still an nice improvement over the manifolds. Couldn't really tell that huge of a difference when I went to long tubes and this is on a 300 hp motor so they flow decent I'd imagine.

They are made by Flowtech, and are a true quality product as you will be able to tell in the photoes. These things have thicker flanges than the Hookers I just added; I can say that much.

Ben,

Thanks for putting me first in line but I am going to have to pass if they are 1.5 inch primaries.

I am looking for a set of headers that will flow enough to allow 500-600 horses to flow with out much restriction and unfortunately 1.5's just won't cut it.

Thanks anyway and good luck on the sale,

Martin

I'm still interested. I only plan on making 300hp max so these would work great. Where are you located and do you have any pictures yet.

Thanks

These would be a good choice then!

I am located in Baton Rouge. My girlfriend just came to town last night and I got her to bring her digital camcorder.

Will a movie work just as well? If so, I'll send you that.

My girlfriend and I made a short video tonight of the shorty headers. It'll be a few days, but I'm working on getting them for you.

We're looking at atleast two days or so though.

Sounds like fun. . .

Seriously, though, Studytime is a very reliable person, so don't fear sending your money.
