If you get these on the market for $900 or less, they will sell. I would definetly get a set myself. $1600 for headers is just too much, although $900 is a lot itself, its a little better. I just wish we could get header prices like the domestic guys :D

Just to let everyone know, we already have 8 people on our list for these headers. We need 7 more people and this project will be done before you know it.

Eight people in one day is not bad at all, keep showing your interest and we just might offer more parts for this car.

Sent email to you guys at xerd. Very interested in buying your headers if the gains are pretty close to JP performance.

You know, these types of things are tricky. On one hand you want people to put their money out there to get these made. But on the other hand there is no certainty on whether or not there will be sufficient gains. I commend you guys for making them and your previous work looks pretty good.

What kind of steps do you guys have planned as far as releasing before and after hp/tq gains? Will you need 15 buyers before you even do any testing?

We are not asking for any deposits just yet. We wanted people to e-mail us so we could see how much interest and serious buyers we might have.

We are going to prototype the headers, then make a production piece. Once we have the production piece we will install and start doing any needed testing (including dyno). Once we have all the information, pictures and dyno sheets we will release the product.

First we will show you a finished tested product, then we will take orders.

We just want so see the amount of interest for such product before we put our time and money into it.

This will not be a custom made product, once we go into production we will stock at least 25 sets at a time.

Thanx. Ben

I sent xerd an e-mail and I am very interested in the Headers... How long will it be from the time you start the fabrication, till we know the final effects and can be shipped out?

This project will take 6-7 weeks from the time we start until the parts are ready to ship.

Thanx.

i dont think you have the right car forum, but im pretty sure some things were moved around to create space for a TT application. there was one 1mz that was turbocharged, the battery and acceleration cable unit, along with other components were moved around, just imagine trying to find room for a TT.
