Lets play devils advocate and use a Stillen set up as an example. Their headers are $695 w/ t304 stainless steel. Z1 is offering their Momentum clone headers at $895 and for $1033 you get test pipes as well. Add 370z test pipes ($269) to the Stillen headers and you are at $964. You are telling me you would rather save $69 to make less power? If you are going through the effort of installing headers on a 370z you might as well do it right as it is very labor intensive. I could see if you already have 370z HFC or TP being somewhat disappointed as you will have to sell your current hardware.. but I am sure they will sell fast on the forums here for a large percentage of what you paid.

Lets not forget barring a few sets that were dumped when momentum was firesaling inventory they sold these headers for $1,299.

I think you guys should be happy z1 has managed to secure the jig, do R&D, and release this setup for an affordable price. And if you still have stock cats the additional $69 dollars price difference over a very nice set of headers from stillen (that make less power) is a steal. We all know you can throw money at these cars to make NA power but $69 is an oil change for these cars.

I am not trying to get in a pissing match with you. With the flange being different why get rid of parts you already have just to make something work. Im stuck with over 2Gs of parts for a KA24DE that I cant get rid of because I tried to make something work. Why get rid of something that is already there or bought. I agree with you as I have stated it is awesome that the headers are here.
Also as stated they are going to come out with a different flange so it is not a big deal, as stated by John "Be patient as we will have the 370Z flange soon".
