Cable Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 Alright guys, change of plans. The business partner I had in doing the headers has too much on his plate right now to finish them. So, I starting looking at other options today... So far I found one shop who is willing to build them for about $1000 a set. Still stainless steel and in 1.75" primaries and maybe 2.00" if there is enough room for them. I understand that is double what I originally though, but I wanted to at least follow through with the headers. Please understand that I will not be making a single penny off these headers as I am doing this for the sole purpose of helping this community. I am sorry that I cannot provide a set closer to the originally planned $500 area. I am sure if I can get the shop to produce a template to keep on hand the price will come down some. I know that no one ever wants to be first, but if any of your are serious in going further, please let me know and I will gladly provide my Z as the prototype template for the shop. I can't even afford a set right now (if I want to stay married anyway...). They told me each set will take about a week to complete, shipping will be extra based on location.

EvilC Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 So this new shop only needs to protype on side correct? Then remake the side you have done already? One week turn around $1000 plus shipping. Just double checking the facts here. Thanks for still making the effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. The original driver side header prototype header is being retained by my former business partner. I didn't even ask to use it since he operates a business and as such would like to make a profit which would only drive the cost up even more. So I am starting over, although I am sure the driver side will look very much like the last one I built back in Oct 2010. Everything else is correct, one week turnaround, $1000 + actual shipping to your location in the U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alainburon Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 No worries dude, totally understandable. Take care. cable, Let me know when you have the first set made and how they fit as well as what size primaries you decide to use. I'm ok with the $1000 price tag as long as they are stainless and there is no hacking up the car to make them fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cable Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 As of right now all sets are going to be in 1.75" primaries. The 2" would only be attempted if so requested. Personally I think the 2"primaries would be more trouble than its worth. The shop I am dealing with now only has stainless steel mandrel dies so stainless is the only choice. However the header flanges might be mild steel. Cost is a huge factor on that since the stainless header flanges are much more expensive.

kce Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Are they just stainless steel or are they also ceramic coated? Either way, I can't start stocking piling parts for an engine swap at that price. Sorry. Maybe in another year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
