Default Header Update

Spoke with Betty at S&S Headers today. A couple of orders were made without JetHot coating and those shipped last week. They just recieved 15 sets back from JetHot and these sets ship today!



12 more sets are due back from JetHot soon.

Also, thanks to gawd we found out the inside catalyst bolts were VERY hard to reach. I requested that bolts be welded into the flanges for these positions. This will make installs much easier.

Cheers!

Stupid question, but would these work with MY setup???? (I wasn't sure, so that's why I opted out of the original deal).

These are direct replacements for the stock manifolds. My understanding is you are using stock manifolds. If so these are an ideal upgrade for you.

we all want to share the joy!!

I got mine yesterday too!!! w00t!!!

anyway, I HAVE to say that these are some very sweet looking headers. Well made, very heavy duty, super thick flanges and great piping thickness. JetHot coating looks great too. There is absolutely NO comparison to the headers for small block Chevy V8 stuff I'm used to.


Nice job guys. Now I need to get these on, but my season is closing FAST!!

Can't wait to see some test results you guys!!!! (and driving experiences)
