^ That 28rwhp came from replacing the entire exhaust system, which included their custom 3.5" exhaust.

I've always wanted this, but I'm too poor.

That is NOT correct. The 28whp came on the roadster, which already had a y-pipe and 3" exhaust. 28whp was swapping factory cats and manifolds to our headers with NO other changes, NO engine tuning.

Non revups with a free-flowing exhaust and intake seem to make around 18-20whp over stock manifolds and cats. Of course if you have cams everything changes once again!

^ Ah, my mistake. I was just going off the description in your website, but that makes sense.

"Matched with our 3.5" race exhaust the sound of the engine was not to be forgotten, and the power gains - even on a stock 2006 Rev-Up 350z were astonishing. 28whp was found on our test vehicle when compared to stock exhaust manifolds and cats."

would be a sick addition to any built NA car, too bad I can't afford.

I think you'd have a lot more sales if you could get the price down to around 1400

One of the reasons these headers make the power they do is the parts that they are made from -- specifically, the collectors. Quality merge collectors alone are going to be around $500 a pair, but are absolutely essential to merge the gases from the primaries with minimal turbulence and loss of velocity.

I wouldn't be surprised if the parts alone were around $1400, but if they weren't, this header wouldn't be making 28whp, either.

Exactly. Between the collectors, the R&D, the time to create an accurate jig and meticulously build them one at a time... this is a fair price for what they are.

I doubt parts really cost more than $500 if they do, they need to figure something out.

^ Your doubt? Have you make headers before? have look up how much SPD collectors are?

It's probably be $500 in meterial if they make the collector themselves. But no, they went and bought some SPD ones that has been tested.

ah didn't know that, and not sure how much those collectors cost.

still would have been nice to see a quality LTH that was more mass produced

cheap, fast, reliable - pick two

Stopped at the shop last week, Sash was working hard on getting this set done. Looking forward to installing them on my track car in a couple weeks.

Does that mean this "last" set is spoken for?

Not by me. Give him a call if you want a set.

Thanks guys

But really though, the last set is sold. Sorry!

Hopefully there will be some demand for another 5 sets in the future, and with some work maybe we can get the price down, but the way we're making these it isn't likely - maybe a couple hundred dollars at best.

Let's send it overseas!

Didn't Novesh? buy a set of these?

What kind of power did he make with them? I think I remember seeing that he did?

I know that we don't have any left for sale, but thought we'd share a video of our headers on a street car. No idea who took the video or who was driving, but it sure sounds good

Really hoping there'll be another 5 sets in the future!
