Default Re: Long Tube header interest

The company just wants to make sure that there will be enough of them sold to actually get into doing the design and fabing and building of them. They have to build so many at one time and if there isn't enough interest then it won't be profitable, they can't make them for free and the more they sell the cheaper they can set the price. I will get a certain # of people that want these headers and provide it to them, I will not take any money from anyone and no one will have to put any money down for this to happen, they just want to make sure that there is enough interest to make it worth their time. This will be a completely bolt on set up, the only thing the end user may want to get is a set of OEM exhaust manifold gaskets, Usually Toyota's OEM gaskets are better than the aftermarket stuff.

It is set to come with, headers, 1 pair of cats either welded up or flange bolt-ons, gaskets for exhaust manifold and 2 bolt flange to meet up with the muffler pipes, hardware for installation, and extensions for O2 sensors. They will likely provide hardware for the install of the headers to the manifold but depending if they are like the gen 1s with the studs and compression nuts it may be best to use the OEM equipment on this as well since they are aluminum heads and a stainless bolt could strip the thread right out if they are tightend too tight.

They have concerns though being stainless steel by itself isn't cheap and the tooling it requires to make headers and collectors wears out faster than if doing mild steel so there is a higher expense for stainless.

Basically they just want to make sure it is worth it.

They have built headers for the Gen 1 Tundra and it wasn't Kook's Headers.

They will not be CARB legal. They won't do the CARB testing.

Thanks
