68-72 Header Group Buy

[-Greg72]

Dan,

Stand firm on your philosophy.... the world is full of people willing to cut corners or make compromises to try to please others. It's refreshing to see a vendor who builds the best product they know how while still doing everything possible to keep costs as low as they can. You'll never be able to hit a price point that pleases everyone, that's just a fact of life... that's not a dig on anyone here either. Just a simple observation.

The product looks impressive, and if I was doing a more conventional build I'm sure these would be on my list. Ultimately, I will probably end up needed an outboarded set of headers when the time comes and I'm not sure that's something you even bother with....

Best of luck with your products.

Will header wrap adversly impact these headers or void the warranty?

Greg72,
thanks very much for your reply. I agree, there are loads of companies literally throwing products together as quick as possible, using the thinnest tubing, thin flanges, etc just to be able to price products at rock bottom. The old saying applies: "You get what you pay for". In the Impala SS community, some of my biggest supporters and happiest customers started out as owners using the "Jegs" brand headers. So it's like anything, as customers purchase and install and replace the lower quality headers time and time again, they will eventually see the value in doing it just once for the higher price. But you can only purchase the most affordable to stay comfortable. I hope our Lay-A-Way plan will help bridge the gap.

Thanks again.

NEVER HEAT WRAP HEADERS!!!! It absolutely voids the warranty.

Here's a 6 month old set of ceramic coated mild steel headers a customer decided to wrap:

Why NOT to use heat wrap! EVER!

I was able to literally crush the tubing with my bare hands.

DON'T DO IT!!!

Did I mention you should NEVER wrap headers?

Yeah, DON'T!!!!

Enough said.

Dan, do you have an update as to where we are on the number of orders?

[reds_racing]

I have tried to call Steve several times to place my order and have yet to get a hold of him. Even left a call back number with no luck. So if today is deadline, looks like I missed out. Been trying to order a set since last Friday morning.

Steve took a mini vacation and will not be back until Wednesay. So, consider this extended through this Friday.

Thus far, two have committed. Matt, works for Steve, just came over and said there were three calls since Friday so this may put us at the minimum of 5.

Thanks again.

Thanks again.

We may make 5 on which set? BBC or SBC?

[Clear Image (Dan)]

So far all the calls and emails have been for the big block.

[Jokers69]

Sorry I'm back in town and ready to take your orders. As Dan said we will offer this sale until friday. Thanks Steve

[AJs72K5]

Its Friday. What's the word?

[Jokers69]

Well as of right now we did Not make the order amount on either the BBC or SBC. If you guys would like I can talk to Dan and see if he will extend it.

[Lee H]

For those still on the fence, I'm down for a set if small block coated if we get enough for a group buy. PM sent to Steve.

[AJs72K5]

Steve -- What were/are the current counts on each type?

[reds_racing]

I already place an order for one small block set! That was if we made the number for the discount.

[67ss&99ss]

I would definitely purchase a mild steel 1 3/4" small block set if we had enough for a GP. I have been looking for a good fitting 1 3/4 header for weeks and this seems to be the best one. So how many does that make for the small blocks?

[Jokers69]

As of right now we have 3 for sbc and 2 for bbc. Need to sell a couple more set.

So has the group buy been extended?

[Jokers69]

As of right now it will be extended until I talk to Dan tomorrow. I'm doing everything I can to get you guys a great price on these headers.

[Jokers69]

Ok I talked to Dan today and he will extend the group buy until next monday and then that is it. So we need 2 more sets of SBC and 3 of BBC.

[AJs72K5]

Bump. Any new orders??

[Jokers69]

No new orders as of right now.

[67ss&99ss]

As much as I hate to do it, I'm going to have to drop my name from the list. The 406 in my camaro started knocking, I pulled the valve cover and found this,



The push rod was smacking around in the lifter bore on the cam lobe and the lifter is somewhere in the intake valley. The money I had saved for my truck is going to have to go into getting this fixed. I'm sure my camshaft is trashed as is the bronze sleeve I have in the lifter bore. Sorry guys, I wished I could have bought a set.

[AJs72K5]

Looking for an update.... Did either of the sets make their numbers? If not, is Dan willing to do anything for those that did commit?

[Jokers69]

Well we didn't sell enough of either set for the group sale. I can talk to Dan and see. I will let you know.

[ksbrktracer]

I could be interested in a set of stainless bbc depending on the lay-a-way terms, just cant afford a full set right this minute......Tell me what you guys are thinkin....I'd like to have a set.
