That is true.

Will just have to wait and see, it better be the highest quality & best if not 2nd in performance

I believe their website also said they are making sure that it meets emissions regulations. I'm sure that takes longer than if you weren't worrying about that.

if it is emissions legal that would be a big selling point to some

if its CARB Exempt then yea, its a big selling point. (at least to me ... )

GOD, things like this make me so glad tennessee doesn't give two ***** about emissions. it really helps out. i could just not run an exhaust at all and no one here would give a ****.

Well, we should all care about Emission, cuz its better for all of us.

but the emission law nowdays has turned into some kind of political stuff. and most people who made emission law these days has ZERO CLUE of what is possible and what is ridiculous.

thats the truth... half the ppl i know back home have straight dumps, no mufflers, no cats, no anything....

hell my first car was 1 '85 civic 325K miles, HUGE hole in the pipe just after the manifold, and it burned almost more oil than gas....

Don't you live in NY? That makes no sense.

I was at Racing Beat yesterday getting flashed (the car not me) and they were telling me these things are ready to go and will be on sale next month. Pricing hasn't been decided but they think it'll be in the $300-400 range. YMMV.

I hope they are offering it in a ceramic coating. Not sure $300-400 would cover ceramic coating which is usually about $100-$150 for headers. Worth every penny if it is high quality.

this is very good news! can't wait to see results and the final product after all this time..

$100 should be more than enough. I've been ceramic coating a bunch of stuff and it really isn't very expensive. You just run into cost when one shop outsources it to a real shop that does the coating, so you end up paying twice for the job.

any chance we could get a list together for a bulk order of ceramic coated headers? add me

Any chance we can get a CARB cert with this?

If you know anything about how the CARB works and the steps to getting a part approved you will understand why, short version is that it cost to much money.

However. Its not likely that you will ever run into a problem running a header because the cops wont even notice you have a header, its hard to see. If they do see it you just tell them that headers came stock just like some of the civic SI's or the old mustang 5.0's. If you have to get a smog check they usually only care if it passes emission, if they question it, just give them the same line.

rest assured that Racing Beat made an attempt to make the headers hard to pick out to non-experts (cops). That's how they do all their exhaust stuff.

so whose getting these at SevenStock?! you know they'll probably have some for sale...

Hey I have this OBX Header I need to have installed. Anyone know if this Gasket will fit my OBX? they look the same.

I hope to pick up RB's header and BHR's ignition setup.

shaunv74

I'm in for a header at sevenstock. I'll probably use it as an excuse to finally put an aftermarket setup on my car. RP supercat. and REV8.
