Default WR headers

We at Weapon*R are working on a Header Kit for the GS4 and the IS3..

The CL-S guys Pay about $1300 for a V6 Header from Comptech..
I was just wondering how much and if anyone's intresed in the Headers .. they will be made of 6061 Stainless Steel..

Here is a dyno of the Cl-S from Comptech..

I would love to get the same results for my Lexus Bro's..

I'm impressed a Dyno sheet the does not look shopped. But seriously if you want to sell your products to the IS boy, I have a couple of suggestions.

One: Provide Dyno charts like that one.

Two: Provide only facts and no hype

Three: Even if your header does not make as much HP as Toyomoto, if you get it CARB legal there will be a lot of Cali guys that will jump on this including my self.

I know I hate your intakes but this might sway my opinion of your products, as a whole.

i believe anything you do to remove/bypass the STOCK cats is breaking smog laws in cali, no matter what a sniffer test says. So to make any headers Cali-legal, you'd have to build it to retain the stock cats which will probably kill performance and really make you question the costs vs benifits.

I'm not sure that is true. I think that if they can prove it has the same emission levels, and then they apply to the EPA for a something like "similar stock parts" selfcertification they will be covered, plus if they get that cert. we can throw it onto our car, without risking voiding our warranty even if it causes an engine failure. (The certification says that it is now considered the same as an OEM part).

I'm not arguing if they *could* do that (they won't), but my point is that in Cali, anything that is NOT stock, regardless of emissions, is not smog legal. I'm fairly certain of this. The loop-hole is as you explained.

Yea, it's not shopped. But it looks like an excel sheet to me.

Why is that idiot (HKG HARRIER...WR rep) even using the comptech header as a basis for price? A V6 headers is FAR more intricate to design and fabricate than an I6 header because it has to locate the headers on both sides of the block. THAT along with Comptech quality is where the price comes in. How did you even come up with that ridiculous comparison....This is why WR will always be ***** in my book.
