Hope to hear some personal experiences from all who get them installed. Maybe a comparison to a tc or Supra rear would help some guys like (felt like 30% or 40% of the gain that I felt when I added my TC or Rear you know). Thanks for everyones time.

Truthfully, I haven't read the last few pages of the original header thread either. I need to get around to doing that someday
But I think it would be courteous if you would glance at that thread before asking a redundant question. If not, this thrad may end up going the same route.

Spoke at length with Loren yesterday. Headers components are fully prepared and ready for welding. Loren had actually called me to discuss the oxygen sensor location. Unlike traditional headers these are using merge collectors in the tri-y locations. The main collector is a 2 into one swage and has very limited space for the oxy sensor to be located and what space is available has compound angles. To us this will mean virtually nothing. For construction both of these points add complexity and cost. Header should begin going to Jet Hot in small batches as they are welded. Some are aware that Jet Hot lost its New Orleans facility in Katrina. They have moved many workers to the California facility along with pending orders to be completed. This has slowed their turnaround time. This is no fun but at least most of us here are only inconvenienced by Katrina and not devastated like so many others.
I would suggest the earliest shipment to be 10 days and more likely 2 weeks.
That is all for now.

Thanks for the update John, I didn't have time to call today.
You are right about the fact that waiting longer for headers is a minor inconvenience due to the hurricane compared to the devastation that many have experienced! It's called "perspective"...
And now another storm headed through the gulf
