Just a little update
Here are the facts:
-NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!!!
-Our long tube header bolts up in OEM location to the stock cat back.
-It eliminates your stock exhaust manifold and stock catalytic converter.
-The headers combined weigh 21 lbs. (17 lbs. lighter than the stock combo).
-Constructed from T-304 stainless steel with a limited lifetime warranty from us (Fast Intentions Inc.) for all welds and craftsmanship!
-There is nothing on the market remotely close to these and believe me when I tell you, it is noticeable power throughout the RPM range. I feel a big difference all around.
We have been working on these for some time now.
We have done extensive dyno testing with 3 different variations. In the pictures below, you will see a collector that merges down to 2.0" and then gradually grows back up to 2.5". That was test #1 and we found that it made good gains in the low end and mid range but no power up top. Essentially the header was being chocked off. Test #2 was a collector that merged to 2.25" and grew back up to 2.5". It retained the low end and mid range but the top end was still not where we knew it should be. So, we went back with test #3 which is a collector that merges to 2.5" and mates right up to our cat back without any disruption in tubing size. As you can see, we lost absolutely no low end or mid range picking up 11-12 RWH in places through the curve and a good amount in the top end. Many other manufacturers claim big numbers but from what I have seen, only a select few back it up. We are dedicated to giving you the facts. Version #3 is what the production header will be.
There will be updates throughout the next week or so, with videos. If you know us, you know how we roll and we will try to put as much information in all of your hands as possible. In the meantime, here are pictures and dyno charts:
To start off these dyno charts I wanted to show a chart in (STD) form. It is not the way we came up through the ranks but it seems like it is the standard norm, on this forum. No pun intended, ha ha! Now it has dawned on me, the reason everyone posts charts in (STD) is because they show the highest gains. With all of that being said, we figured we would play ball...
Now, to keep everything rolling smooth and to stay in line with the way we do things, here is the dyno chart in (SAE) form...
I always hear Tony, NO ONE shows A/F numbers. Without further delay, A/F numbers it is...
Now, this is a fun one. Obviously take this next chart as you will...
There is much more information to come in the next week. After we post the videos, we will be launching a group buy. Now, what you see here is a prototype. We have the bending dyes on order to be able to build most of the tubes in one piece. What this will do is reduce build time which means it will reduce the over all cost. We will price these as aggressive as we can. There will be a wait due to the fact that we will not have the tooling for the bender for 10 weeks. In the meantime, if anyone cannot wait and wants to pay a premium, we can build them just like the pictures here. However, like I said, a premium and it will be several hundreds of dollars over the production headers. We are shooting for a group buy price of $995.00 + shipping. However, once we have a box made for them, there will be a flat shipping rate for the 48 lower US states and this cost will be automatically included in the cost. Make no mistake, these will be hand built in house and we get it right the first time. If anyone has any questions, which I am sure you all do just ask away...
Thank you, Tony
