any updates on this?

 

im in for sure!!

 

Are these headers still going to be made I would love to get my hands on a pair...

 

I am in, when are we going to purchase these things? Are they going to have to take my engine out to install them on a 1999 LS400? Rumor is, they do but I don't know for sure.

 

Dude this is one of those Internet rumors, look at the date on the first post, it is over a year ago. Dont hold your breath.

 

i wonder if anyone else is trying to get these made. I'd be very interested in this if they'd get made at all.

 

Well, this was certainly NOT intended as some kind of rumor. The problem is that the fabricator (a well established header building shop) told me that he would build these if I could get 20 or more commited buyers. I did so and then with the help of some of these buyers located, purchased, measured, photographed and shipped a set of stock manifolds to the builder. This was no easy task, try to locate a set yourself if you don't believe me. This was done nearly a year ago on Feb 20 2004. Between employee sickness and scheduling problems and for whatever other reason the fab guy has not built the headers. He says he started the jigs in December.

At this point (as before) we can either wait for him to build these or find another option. I do not have the time or reasources to build them myself or to pull my car off the street and use it to build on or have built.

I understand the frustration however I must request that you NOT lump my name in with the term "internet rumor". Any concern that I have not answered already is welcome. Post it or PM me and I will, as always, respond.

At this point I am going to give the guy another month and then I will go ahead and post his name, shop and phone number so that people can contact him directly. This may or may not help but honestly I am weary of taking the focus for a project that has obviously dragged on much longer than it was hoped for and that is beyond my control.

 

My apologies, I certainly did not mean to defame you. I understand that this was no easy project and that you were pursuing it as a service to our community. I obviously exercised a bad choice of words and sincerely apologize.

 

jbrady - You are doing the right thing in taking your time, doing the research and getting it right. Glad to see you didn't let this drop!

 

jbrady knows how quality is acheived, and I applaud him for having the patience to see this out from beginning to finish!

jbrady, after a month however, we need to talk. I will send you a PM in a week or so for more details.

 

just monthly check to see if any progress has been made.

and just wanted to thank you for your continued effort on this.

 

Well its been over a month. Jbrady have you heard any news?

 

Dude..it's been over a YEAR...there's nothing that's gonna happen.

PLease someone take me off of this useless thread. I don't like talk w/out any deliverance.
Close this thread if any. It's worth nothing.

 

On John's behalf, I'm sure he's working diligently behind the scenes see this project through. Even when he was working on the exhuast project with me, he oversaw every detail and did not settle for anything less than perfection. I'm sure when it's all said and done, we'll get a quality set of headers.I think we just need to be patient and give him a little more time to finish the job.

 

Just take me off the thread
