Best place to get Doug Thorley headers? $

It looks like I will be needing the 324Y Thorley headers for my swap, which in the best place to get them? It seems like there is a dougthorley.com and a dougthorleyheaders.com, there is quite a difference in price between the two.

Re: Best place to get Doug Thorley headers? $

Nick at Thorley referred me to Brent at DNR performance out of Washington state (I think) 1-253-479-1922

BTW, Thorleys are the BEST out there. they have a set for an 88 E350 with a 460 and a 4x4 conversion. whodathunk?

also as a side note, I think the guy's name is Jamie at Throley. he is a member here and IIRC Nick said he is on the R&D department.

dougthorley.com is the cheapest I've found. Enter 6772 into the promo and they come out at $448.80 with free shipping. Let me know if you find any better deal, I'll be ordering a set soon.

Damn - I just got mine from summit last week, going on tomorrow and it would have been cheaper if I had ordered through dougthorley.com and using that promo code.

I bought the 372yc btw

Re: Best place to get Doug Thorley headers? $

I plan on getting mine through Summit but having them match/beat the dougthorley price. This way, if they don't fit, it will be much easier to return them, as they are 10 minutes from my house.
