Well, I got my headers from Ron and they look great, plus wanted to post some pics. I was the first to step up and was FritzCats sponser.
To answer gearbangers question, here are some closeup of my headers and the welds around the flanges. You can see the welds that were done INSIDE the port flange and ground smooth. No other header company does that! These are the best fitting header you can get, almost fits as well as manifolds, bolts much easier to get to. With the flat oval collector, there is tons of room for ground clearance. Plus the power is amazing. Do not let the theorectical equations that say a 4 tube is better, these for some reason flow almost as well, will ALOT more useable torque from 3000-6000rpm. Enjoy the pics, and pontiac people should seriously consider ordering a set. |

Man, those do look nice. Looks like they are getting better every set. I sytarted a thread over on the pro-touring forums about these headers. I think there will be takers because those cars sit low!
Ron, if anyone calls from the PT forum, that is MY Sponsor!

Now that the bender is up & running again I can get rid of a few welds to speed up the process a little, save expense & add quality. Soon I will have oval flanges & gaskets for the oval collectors for easy connection to exhaust. There are two different designs I'll try out before I release the one that I like best.

Ron, thanks for the PM, and that info does help me understand the process more. I stand corrected on the Mad Dogs, his tubes do have more weld than I remembered on the outside of the header flange. The front and rear tubes dont, but the center one are almost fully welded. Probably for the reasons you said. The hooker headers I have, are the ones that have no weld on the outside of the header flange, but they do have the "beads" on the gasket side that seal things up. I guess that is the difference.
Now go make me some headers! |

Tri-Y headers
As soon as all of the back orders are filled, could you post that you are accepting new orders?
BTW, when you have steak in something, it should be in your mouth( get it, you eat the steak). When you have a stake in something, it should be in a vampire( like a stake in the heart)!

Hey Deanna,
You are right, those head side welds are rougher than on Ron's. I still say there is no need for all that weld on the tube side of the flange. If you can find a shot of the other side of those Mad Dogs, you will see what I am talking about. I am terribly excited to possibly be getting these tri-y's. If I wasn't I would never try to get anyone else to buy them. I am just trying to give constructive comments, that could possible make them even better and faster to make. Peace. |

Sent Pm gearbanger to try & explain some what. Also I guess my wife is a member also. I thought she just had ESP or womans intuition when she talked to e about the headers I guess not.
I showed her those pics of your Mad Dogs about a week or so ago. She got heated because there were complaints about the old welds in 06' but there wasn't a mention about these. She was referring to the welds joining all the tube seems not really the ports. That was just one of the many hypocritical things I was referring to I an above post about a basher. Also I hate being physically threatened for stating the truth. I haven't got the time to meet anyone behind the gym after third grade class, sorry. LLLLOOOOL I have nothing against Mark at Mad Dog. I have talked with him also in the past & think he has a great product & attitude towards Pontiac's unlike other header Co's I had spoken with. BUT apples vrs apples my wife seems to think if its a non issue in Mad Dogs case & all customers were more than happy with his then my new welds are more than up to par. |

My headers arrived at the shop yesterday. I haven't seen them, but they are being test fitted today and then off to get coated. Short timeline so that they are on for the TA Nats. Thanks again Ron.
