They look great coated Richie. I need to get mine fitted to the turbo before coating. They are going to end up VERY short, because they essentially need to end before the transmission to turn toward the passengers fender......like my old ones.

Oh Ron,
got in not so long ago and it was dark outside. Might have to delay my promise until the w/e as it will probably be the same tomorrow and Friday. PM me if that's a problem.

So is the tri-y a waste of time? It just fits better Aronhk md? What brand mini starter fits the header for 64-67's? I have found differences between starter brands. Thanks

Seems to me that a lot of the guys that complained back then!! have finaly been done good to and lots of them got there headers!! sins Ron showed up again in making a efford to make right...
The complaining now seems to be your od one ore two persons, that due to sircumstanses and relocating behond his control have delayd the production and dilivery of his product... sins hes now up and running again im sure headers will be send out.
I myself aim waighting on a set as wel.
And im confidend that they wil be produced and shipt out in not to long... Bitching and moaning is 1 not going to get your money back, 2 is not going to speed up your headers being made. and 3 might iven delay headers being shipt out as a new buyer of headers makes him able to produce 2 sets and shipout to people who he is trying to do good with. thus giving and ore producing a slander campaing brings header producing and dilivery in jepardy for others as new custumors might sit and waight and see how this divelop, so Ahub421 shut the f up and waight in line..... your headers wil come

LoveGTOs........whoaaa!!!! I never said the Tri-Y was a waste of time. I said it is likely.....repeat, likely...no better for HP than any other header out there right now for horsepower production given same tube sizes. To get the most from a tri-y setup they are placed on a dyno, and the length of tubes adjusted to maximize the effect of scavenging the tubes. But remember, this is done for people trying to eeek every last bit of power from a motor, its SUPER expensive to do, and in this case the lengh of the tubes is more geared toward fitting our cars. That is.....we wont know exactly until someone gets a set and throws them on a dyno next to others. But from a design standpoint I dont think Doug's headers or any other brand out there will flow better........just my inexperienced opinion. And we already know that lots of other production headers out there on the market arent made well, with flanges that are often warped, or require hammering the tubes to make them fit, or hit the road over the first speed bump.

If you think the OTHER header manufacturers put their headers on a dyno when designing them.....think again. SD421 is right, these are a hand built header at a decent price. Ron is really trying to build what a lot of pontiac guys NEED.

I also saw the post of yours that was apparently removed. You're just going to have to make your own decisions what you believe with what info is out there.

Post #43 is on my page 3.....with pics of mine. Depends how you have the website setup to lay out the pages I think. Yours are prettier Richie (and on my page 2....lol), but I cant get mine coated until I get the engine back in measure the collectors and cut them short, then add the flanges to make the turn toward my turbo. THEN I can make 'em pretty....lol

i think its for Ron as a business person to state that everybody has been taken care of and then for the issue to be at an end.

Ron.......?

I'm sure he can't wait fo the day that he can say that, but we're not there yet. Probably getting pretty close though. From what I can gather, all the old,old orders for 2ng gen birds are caught up and he is now working on the a-bodys. Think there was about half a dozen or so of those. He is doing this by using all the profit from a new order to complete an old order. Obviously, if he can overcome this, it will make selling headers in the future much. much easier for him. I have to admire his dedication to trying to make good on these old orders.

Gearbanger,

I dont know where you heard that about the 2nd gens. As stated before I ordered mine in October '05 and still waiting. Ron said I was somewhere in the middle of the list and wouldn't be into for a couple weeks (as quoted by ron in October/November) on 2nd gen for awhile. =/

Same as sphynx88, I'm waiting for my 2nd gen headers I ordered back in 05. I did ask to change my order from 0 port to D port, and Ron was ok with it. He has contacted me a couple of times, and I'm confident he will deliver.
