Are they selling these headers for the public? Do you still have to weld them, or do they go on individually? Can't really tell.

They are not in full production yet, but if you are serious you can always give SGM a call and make a deposit. The latter will make a huge difference. Keep in mind that these type of premium items will always be low in inventory since the raw material as well as labor are expensive for any small shop to front.

No need to weld them. They are slip fitted on and secured by bolts, two per collectors. Each primary goes on individually which should make installation much simpler.

Testing it on the engine dyno would have been the ideal case, both practically and scientifically, however the timing didn't work out well so it will be done on the Dynojet.

Btw, the car has the engine in it already with the Tomei and ART pipes.

This should make a huge difference fitting them on car with the engine in place. I'm gonna guess it cuts install time in half, not to mention the frustration of trying to fit a fully assembled header in the tight confines of that area.

Unfortunately no, the car is in no shape for running right now. I really hope to get something before the end of the week...

Here is a short video of the car during the break-in at idle. BTW, this is with the Tomei and ART pipes.



Also added the new tailpipes I got from Tony the other day.
