Will the price stay at $895 since I bought the exhaust already, or will there be another timeline?

Tony said the price would be 995 if you join the group buy which obviously will have a timeline, if you happen to have ordered exhaust parts previously from him too, you'll get the 100 discount.

I'm waiting until the Mandrel version comes out...if the price is raised because of no group-buy or whatever, then I'll probably not bother just based on principal. Hell, I might not bother just because of how much of a PITA it would be to change out the headers...I'll have to hear it before I'll decide if it's worth the PITA.

:confused:

:iagree:

That version is gonna be the same lol
just less welds cause it's a dye

F.I. mentioned that the mandrel LTH's will come with the dies they have on order which will be around Feb (from what I recall), when that stuff was mentioned they said the price would be lowered.

Later, they said that the price now is the lowered price due to it being a group-buy.

That says that either A) pricing will remain lower, B) That the price could raise once the group buy is over.

If it's A), then I'll consider it when I have the money in hand. It'll also depend on sound for me compared with how much of a PITA it is to DIY a header swap. If it's B), then I'll probably pass because mandrel pipes are cheaper to make, so I can't see how they'd raise prices...

F.I. is a good company, and I'm skeptical it's B, just it's not spelled out.

Exactly, I don't want welded up pipes.

Granted, I intend to have them ceramic coated, but, I still don't want welded up pipes, not when there is a mandrel-bended option in the near future.

This 995/895 is the price for the dye pressed LTH. it's a group buy and group buys don't last forever. If there was no dyes, price would be around 1400.

Who cares how it looks under your hood? As long as they perform good thats what matters.

To my understanding, that's not the case.

995/895 is for group buy now, they make them now, 1 at a time with welds.

The dies are on order, due in Feb.

I do. Welds can fail...hotspots can develop where the seams are (because they won't be smooth...transition from piece to piece creates pockets, etc)

Hey, maybe I'm going overboard with it, but so what - it's my f'n money.

NG, are you getting the LTH?

Well, you misunderstood. The welded one is just a prototype. The dye pressed ones is what he's selling. Ppl who are interested and leave a deposit will be getting them next year. Read... Lol

just PM Tony and ask if he is building one-offs now or just getting the gb list together for february...

he said if he has to make them now he can but they will cost more than the gb price, atleast thats the way i understand it...
