VifferJ

Congrats and welcome Hammy, good looking gen6.

Welcome!

Congrats and welcome!

Gen 8 is a two piece seat, looks like gen 6 to me.

Sargent built a heated seat for my gen8 Viffer about 5 years ago, I had to send them the oem seats and they re-used those pans. It's a great seat and haven't had any issues, the heat controller you can see in this pic where I mounted it on the left, the rectangle shape controller is about the size of a box of tic-tacs. Do they even still make tic-tacs, I think I just dated myself lol...

Welcome!

For the gen 8 you can either run the rear seat or the rear cowl, you can't run both they fit in the same spot.

Thank you for providing this platform for us all to enjoy over the years, it has been awesome, thank you thank you thank you! I wish you all the best! 

Welcome!

Just hearsay from my neighbor, but $450....... ?

That sounds about right, maybe up a bit from a couple years ago but that seems to be the trend for everything right now costing a bit more for either parts or labor. I had them do a header for a twin and it was around $300 if I remember correctly, a twin header is less coating and time than a v4 header.

Looking for suggestions for the ceramic header coating...other than by Jet-Hot($!)....for my Suzuki neighbor guy..

I did a search but no luck....whadya know?

How much did Jet-Hot quote him to do it? I had them coat a header for me before and thought the price wasn't bad?

Beautiful! 

message sent to sfdownhill, is it too late to get in on this round? A buddy of mine would like to order 3 sets, 2 gen6 & 1 gen8 please, let me know, thanks!

Epic man, great pics and write up, thx for sharing! 

Sorry if I missed it, lots of activity in this thread since I checked last, has anyone done a before and after dyno run and if so what were the gains? 

Is the red just a sticker with black plastic underneath?

How does one go about ordering the 8th gen header and what's the cost? Or did you have to order in advance?

3 - We have an 8 gen loaner in our sinister clutches. Monday Duc2V4 mounted new tires while I installed speed bleeders and new brake/clutch actuation fluid to get  acquainted with the 8 gen - neither of us have one [Yet]. We will be installing a PCV on the 8 gen. One of the production run 5/6 gen headers will be converted to the 8 gen by modeling the curves of the 8 gen front primaries. Wade will build a prototype, then we'll do a baseline and dyno tune April 6.

Oh my, this is getting exciting! 

Sorry if I missed it, but has price been determined yet for a gen 8 header?
