There was a set for sale a few weeks ago. They never installed them though. Problem is they are short tube headers that cost $300 more then longtube PPE headers. Longtubes = more power then short tubes. Only short tubes proven to make power close to the longtube headers is the Momentum headers. For the price, I dunno who wants to the guinea pig on these. Also, waiting time is a month on the 5zigen if not longer as they are made to order. Looks cool but its hidden anyways so not worth it, even for aesthetics.

Yeah I think it's just price that holds people back. Only website I've found these on sells them for $1900 and there aren't any dyno numbers on it from forum members. Those momentum headers were half the cost and produced great results. I'd love to see what these can do but $1500-$2000 for something untested... That could go to a lot of other mods

Why does the flange have 5 holes? Are all our headers like that?

Where do you see 5 holes? I see 3 on the flange to the cat and 8 to the block.

Japanese companies have an insane addiction for quality, so they'll create good products for $$ without the most power gains. I have no doubt these are good, but they're not for most

Wanne bet? I'd do some more research here. Momentum headers have been blowing everyone out of the water. You must be comparing to the other crappy headers out there.
