We are working on setting up a car for a dyno test. Untill we finish the headers in production, we won't be able to do a dyno test run.
Thanks

Not to be a pain or anything, you've already beat the hooker price and several others, but in the $500 price range still might as well be $5000 for some of us. I see longtube setups for stangs all the time and they're like $250-300 bucks, and i realized something.. they're made of tubes just like the lt1 fbod and every other cars headers are 
. I mean it just upsets me that i had to stop modding my car because headers were 500 dollars plus o2 sims plus lt4 knock module plus a 200 dollar y pipe. i already have a catback and there that cost me 270. so let me see
500 headers
275 cat back
200 y pipe
100 o2 sims
+ 35 knock module
----------
$1110
I mean lets not **** ourselves here this is tubing not a set of victor jr's or something. the cost for these headers amazes me that it can be so high when i paid 60 dollars less than your price (lowest around for long tubes in the f-bod) when my dad needed a set of headers to put a 454 in his 79 pro street malibu.
I think its great that you guys are competing with people who had relitively little competition in this market so far. All i'm saying is that i disagree when everyone calls this a great price. I mean if you're willing to pay 500 dollars for about 20 ft of coated 1 3/4" tubing i've got a bridge i'll sell ya....

It's all about supply and demand. Economics 101. The fact is, there is more Stang interest than F-Bod interest. There are at least 3 different magazines dedicated to the 5.0. I think MM&FF (IIRC) is almost 200 pages. GMHTP? nowhere near and every other month.
Many suppliers competing for the hot market drive the cost down. On our side, there appears to be demand, but it's nowhere near what it is for the Stang, otherwise we would see a lot more advertisers/manufacturers.
I don't know what the production #'s are, but I believe the mustang has outsold the camaro in all of the recent 10-12 years maybe longer. That's my guess and not fact.

Things to be considered when Jet Hot started this project. Jet Hot sells the popular hooker headers(coated) for $580(add $32 for the O2 bungs installed = $612 with the shipping included). We were able to sell the same headers less than a year ago for $545. This can give you an idea of how the prices keep going up. Jet Hot wanted to take the same header but make it better quality and better fit for a better price. After going though several months of research, we were able to get the best price possible. I know that you can buy headers from Summit,Jegs,etc. for $60-80(uncoated), but you get what you pay for(sometimes good and sometimes not). You can also buy expensive headers and still have a fitting & quality problem. I can assure you that the headers cost us a lot more than $80. In conparison to the market, I think the price we are offering is very good. We will offer the headers,fully coated in&out with the sterling silver finish, for $493 to the door. The headers come with the O2 bungs installed. We will also be offering the same headers with the emission tubes in a few months for the 94-97 cars. We are also looking to make an off road Y pipe for the headers and one with Cats also.
On a personal note, I owned a mustang about 10 years ago. I bought long tube headers and h pipe for the car(uncoated). The parts cost me over $700. I didn't consider that cheap. My point is that I know how much adding mods to the car can cost. In order to battle the cost of buying new parts, Jet Hot offers the 2 pay plan to make it easier.
I don't consider your coments evasive , it's been emails like this that startered us thinking on how to sell a better product for a better price.
Thanks

Theres only one thing im concerned about.........
getting these headers asap!!
If chris can back everything he says about these headers they are well worth it. I had to do some drilling on my SLP headers to get them to fit. Drilling stainless steel is not fun.

Chris,
On your last post you said that you will be making the headers with emissions for the 94-97's. Please tell me that is a typeo because what about the 93's? We need love too.
