Default Price Includes Shipping

Thanks Verndog. Let's keep in mind that shipping on these bad boys is around $20 or more. As Verndog stated, the buy it now price is $200 + shipping. True, there are some auctions that start at $150, and yes, if no one bids on them, in theory, you can get them for $150 + shipping. Let's keep in mind that this group buy is for the benefit of the masses, not just one individual.

Talking Prices Lowered:

I spoke with the guys over at SS Autochrome and the gave me the nod to go ahead and lower the pricing a bit. The highest price is now $175 shipped! In addition, if 30+ people order, it'll drop to $160 shipped! The TS members still retain their $10 off benefits on top of these prices. Wow! Now let's get this thing going!

Headers are not CARB certified. Group buy won't even begin without some interest. We need at least 10 yay-sayers. Poll runs for 8 more days.

Hey Eric,

I know that the JBA's are CARB certified. Downey and TRD are probably the other 2 makers..... JB

Erik: Don't take this the wrong way, but aren't these prices the same as you initially posted? Was this a mistake? Either way, this is a great price for the product. Now if only they will bolt up to the DC, I'm in!

Check the first post...prices are revised slightly. No more $190 step. As far as I know, these will fit the DC. I'll double check that next week. Anyhow, I'll keep this short as I'm out of town and don't really have good access to a computer. I'll be back on the ball on Monday. Thanks for all the interest.
