Everyone keeps saying they won't work, but there is still no Proof as to such.

So no one needs to freak out about it unless we can see an install with them...

Honestly I don't think there will be proof until Someone tries it. I doubt GTM will test someone elses headers on there system. A simple phone call to GTM will answer your theory regarding the headers

So can this be understood as GTM Hasn't even tried it with the FI Headers? Claiming something doesn't work without even trying? I don't really think this is the case, but I was hoping for some info in the press release... Pulleys were shot down but not the headers. There has to be more to this story because I look at GTM as a respectable company...

I get your point..it's understood. But question is why would they test it? For what purpose?

Because it's always been noted that with SC's LTH's work great... and since FI has sold several, and I'm sure a good % of those customers are interested in this kit...

Those two points would be something I'd look at once the kit is marketed. Someone is bound to ask.

I guess that's something Tony and Sam have to work out. Say what if GTM is making there own lth? There is no purpose to test out a brand that's not there's. Should be what's in the best interest of the company.

LoL This is exactly the point.

[Speculation] They're not even bothering to test another product, and then claiming it doesn't work while they can R&D their own 'magic headers that work' with the SC kits.[/Speculation]

I like to imagine GTM isn't that shady... but as of yet there is still no proof that they don't work. And no one has even contacted Tony to get a set (Which I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem getting at least a passenger side one made up) for the purpose of R&D to see IF any changes needed to be made to that side because it would help bump his own sales.

I think the kit sales by itself. I'm just glad the kit is out.

CRACK VVEL that will resolve the headers issue, otherwise whenever customers with the LTH's get their Stg2 kit the classifieds are going to be flooded with swap offers or low priced sales.
