Default Is chiefmanyhorses still in business?

A while back I was looking for some 2" headers for my car and chiefmanyhorses was the only place that had them. Now when I try and go to the site, it appears they are down. Does anyone know if they are still in business, and what their phone number is?

Thanks,
Brandon

Post FWIW:

They are history as told to me by a former customer with an engine in their possession who was down here visiting.
Told me the dude split from his brother? and is working out of his house?

I believe all of the headers they sold were basically built by MAD DOG Headers in Michigan. You should be able to get what you want from Mark. Give him a call and say I recommended him.

The headers IA sold were built by tgem. I know, cause I used to own the company.

When I sold it in 2003/2004 AllPontiac bought the tooling for the block and BGP Engineering bought everything else.

BGP has gone out of business as far as I can find out.

So can you get Indian Adventures headers from Mad Dog, or are they no longer made?

I've got a set of the slip fit round port headers on my '65. The best headers I've ever used and easiest to install. Hope you guys can still get them. Nice job developing those Dick.

I recently bought the IA 1-7/8 slip fit round port headers. Very nice stuff. Don't know who makes them though.

Sounds like the same ones I just posted about. 3-1/2 collectors too.

We owe a tremendous debt to Dick and Tom for developing and funding the original Indian Adventures block. Besides giving us a strong platform to make big power, the purchases of IA blocks and E-heads showed the rest of the performance aftermarket that the Pontiac hobby was willing to spend money on better parts.

I happen to have a set of 2'' headers , 3 piece slip on made for edelbrock heads.They were made by indian adventures brand new never used, but they do have surface rust on them from sitting for 6 years or so in my garage, they are designed for a 67 gto. If im not mistaken they will fit 64-67, I paid 450 dollars for them, I'm open to offers for them if anyone needs them, I'm in orlando Florida area.
