Your as lucky as me. Your new (Sorry one must past the 7 year itch before they become the lovely old lady) Looks like you bag a keeper. You and I are lucky SOB's It's just that my *better* half likes teaching high school kids but she lets me play with cars. I think we are damn luck guys!
Mr. Goodwin, I wish you the best of luck & if your half as happy with your love as I am, your one lucky guy!

PS. I want another header again
Thanks for your reply's!
Thanks for the good words....and we are working on header just for you. Seriously, new version of header coming....soon.
What the ?
Ok, you open a can of worms, out with it!
Nothing wrong with the one you have now. Fit was the best I have ever seen for aftermarket header and or headers. I was just one of the unlucky ones that worked @ Motel 6, as Tom said.
Yep, nothing wrong with the one we have....and we will continue to offer it forever. I designed the unit we have as the all out race unit, FULL FLOW for even the guys adding superchargers. It perfectly accomplishes the mission for which it was designed.
But, decided that I would like to finish a street version with converter and slightly smaller primaries for less emphasis on top end and more focus on the midrange, still the same perfect fit and all stainless. Started this project years ago but put it on the back burner when the PPE header came out. Figured we would watch customer response to that well engineered unit and then evaluate again if we should finish ours. Got enough requests for us to do our own that we pulled our own version off the back burner to look at work on finishing it up. Still weeks, or even months, before it lands on the shelf (if ever), depending on how the dyno work goes and costs.

Ok please tell us your using a ceramic, or a heavy metal cat. I understand from talks with Magnaflow & another builder the metallic cats can have issues.
Maybe you'r going with something thats California CARB Compliant...see below.
Sorry for hijacking the thread,
Maybe we should start another thread?
I would like to test one. As I said your fit is the best I have seen.
Price point?
No need for thread on this yet, we have lots more work to do before we can get into specifics....or even say it will certainly happen. Still will need to eventually decide if the 'game is worth the candle.' That is, PPE's unit costs what it does because they make small batches of just a few. Ours would cost the same if we make equally small batches. Thus, our only way to get significantly better prices for our customers on a header with converter is our usual economy of scale production of 100 units. As the largest NC parts vendor we do have the customer base to make that happen, but it is still a significant project in a down economy. Thus, can't promise it yet.

She started in karts, then her Audi A4, and this season she moved up to running our supercharged beast. She got her first 'podium' third place finish at the last event and at practice today she was fastest female of the day and easily within the top ten times of the day. I think our tire budget just doubled...
It always seems to start when they get their own helmet. All downhill from there. Was the same way for me when I taught my wife to ride my motorcycle "in case we were out and I couldn't pilot us back." Her own bike, then paint customizing, then performance parts, and of course chrome, wheels etc ... Now guess who is having a ball with the MX?
