I currently have stock 98 catless headers, with a high mounted 450mm delkevic silencer with custom corners. Many Thanks for your help 😃 Yes, we are taking orders now and have at least 3 confirmed on the list. You can add your name to it if you like. I will be sending you a PM shortly with ordering details.

I didn't need to do anything with it apart from making up new lines and I used AeroQuip type fittings and braided hose. Thanks. I was thinking of squeezing the 8th gens oil cooler in but I'm not sure there's going to be enough space, still need to place everything and figure out the hose and line routing. Quote
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted May 19, 2020 Member Contributer Posted May 19, 2020 Just to give an update. We currently have a new list going and are at the minimum number we need, just waiting on confirmation of the deposits. Most likely we will be there to move forward within the next week or so. If you are thinking about getting a set, now would be the time to chime in. Send me (Duc2V4) and sfdownhill a PM and we can get you sorted out. Cheers, D I thought I'd add pricing here just to make it easy. Headers: $830.00 Passivation: $90.00 Gaskets: $20.00 (set of 4) PC Map: $50.00 Shipping: TBD (Based on your location) Prices range from $50-$90 within the lower 48. 2 Quote
dbandler Posted May 20, 2020 Posted May 20, 2020 What percentage of previous buyer's had their headers passivated? I am curious if this is worth it - my initial reaction is that if Wade is using quality 304 SS it shouldn't be necessary. Plus, most of the headers are covered by the fairings. Quote

I think all but one asked for no pasivation, maybe 2... The passivation is more for "curing" the welds than for protecting the actual whole headers. I believe that sfdownhill had posted what the actual process entails somewhere here on this thread. Quote

It's perfectly normal for the tubing to discolour a little after a few heat cycles. The passivation is only to stop the headers from rusting at the welds. Just refreshing this info into the thread... 1 Quote

Member Contributer Mohawk Posted May 22, 2020 Member Contributer Posted May 22, 2020 A tip for those clamp springs, get some heat shrink colour of your choice & slide over the springs. It keeps the exhaust free of marks & rust from the springs, they will rust. 2 Quote

Member Contributer interceptor69 Posted May 25, 2020 Member Contributer Posted May 25, 2020 I was one of those who asked for passivation. After watching the original headers turn to rust I decided to go all out to try to prevent any rusting. Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk Quote
Member Contributer gig Posted May 26, 2020 Member Contributer Posted May 26, 2020 Akrapovic sells their springs in two different sizes, eliminates the rattling noise, don't rust, and they look the shit. On my two Bros, it uses all long and one or two of the shorter springs Quote

Member Contributer Dangeruss Posted May 30, 2020 Member Contributer Posted May 30, 2020 I just joined the forum after picking up a nice 5th Gen earlier this week. It has a Kerker can on it but it's otherwise stock. I am interested in getting in on this group buy if it is still open, pending shipping costs to Canada. Quote
Johnpon Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 I finally received my headers!!! They look really nice!!! I am looking forward to fit them... Thank you Daryl and Lance 3 Quote
Member Contributer Duc2V4 Posted June 5, 2020 Member Contributer Posted June 5, 2020 Not sure if this info was ever posted and since we did receive an inquiry regarding weight, here is what I was able to gather using a luggage scale. Not sure of the accuracy i.e. +/- X% but seems to be pretty good for shipping stuff. Anyway, here are some weights I gathered. Replica Headers: 9.42 lbs. 1999 OEM Headers: 10.56 lbs. 2009 OEM Headers: 13.94 lbs. 1 Quote

Member Contributer jim v Posted June 5, 2020 Member Contributer Posted June 5, 2020 Hi all, rather than read thru all 34 pages (!!) - can anyone remind me how the O2 bung should be plugged if we're not running a sensor. I seem to recall there was a plug of a specific size....... Quote
