I paid with PayPal evening of the 26th, so essentially the 27th. I'm sure they will ship soon.

have a local customer that's ready to buy a pair of the '68-72 RAIII's/downpipes. If offered, at that price, I'd buy a pair of the 2.5 roundports/downpipes, though have perfect original manifolds.

The description now says they are out of LH Castings and they will re-activate the listing when they get more.
Just guessing here but I would say the new price is meant to deter purchases until they have stock again. Killing this listing and re-listing again later would probably mean more fees.

Ok guys, I pulled mine out to prep them for the Por15 Manifold coating just now, BE CAREFUL, every edge is razor sharp. I expected these to be higher quality coming from RARE as bare castings. Maybe that's why there's a sale???

They will be better after priming and coating but watch your fingers!!!

So, these are bare castings not cnc port matched? I can match and deburr them myself. Just wanting to know what to expect.

Tstroud, when I said bare I meant no coating, they have been opened up and are 2.45 on the outlet but they are raw from a deburr perspective. I sent them a note asking why their quality system would allow them to ship such a sharp part. I'll post back when I hear. I also asked if these were seconds due to this issue. Maybe yours will be different.

Default HO Manifolds Good Deal Alert!
I have a die grinder and I know how to use it and I don't mind doing it. Just need to schedule some time if they need some work.
I would still like to know what they say.

Just an FYI, back in 2015 I bought a set from Ames for a regular price of $399. So anything in that range I'd consider a decent price. I'm surprised to see some of the prices you guys are posting over $2,000

These guys must have figured a way to save money by keeping their original listing open and changing the price when they are out of stock. eBay hasn't caught on yet but they will, they know how to get blood out of a turnip.

Ah okay gotcha. I was wondering what was going on there. Seemed odd to me to see the price jump all over the place. So I thought I'd post what I paid 2 years ago figuring anything in that range would probably be a decent deal today. I read through more posts and didn't realize these things were getting so difficult to obtain. Thanks Ponchjoe.
