Header Possibilities

[HellHawk]

I need to know who would be in for purchasing a set of headers for the 4.2L I6 that are in our TB's and Envoys (and all others of course). I have 2 possible manufacturers (1 big, and 1 not so big) that are willing to do it if I can justify the tooling cost.

It would totally depend on quality and price of the unit. For example, if MSDS made a set vs. Weapon-R, then MSDS would be a possibility because they back their product quality 100%.

well if you'd like to work out a deal, they garage working on mine will be doing a prototype and i will get some dyno figures once its complete...anyway, ill send it over if the company over there wants to pay for it, should be a little less R&D for them....

btw wat do u mean tooling costs??

[sk_trailblaz]

If the cost is reasonable and the net gains are justified...you can count me in. :) I have been looking for a header for some time.

Depends on who makes the header.

Doesn't hedman make one?

[Trailblazin]

they said they did, but i emailed them once and they replied, "these have not yet been put into production"..

I don't think there was enough interest into them, until now :D

Any idea what the gains would be?

That is one manufacturer that is interested. I do need to swap the tranny out (this one is slipping bad on the 2 to 3 shift) before I take the TB up there though (they will multiple dyno runs). I'll name the other possible manufacturer when more things are nailed down.

Depending on the hp and tq gains I may be interested.

I would buy one if it was a full system and came in a single or dual out let depending on the look and power curve

Not to hijack your thread, but...

I have a header builder that is currently making three different headers for the Comp Eliminator guys. I'm having him do them in stainless. He is making my 1/2" header flange for my turbo manifold.

Congrats man.

I can make a header in my shop, but I couldn't mass produce and offer them to very many people with any consistency.

what bout just us :D

[Turbo4200]

Hellhawk- Totally understood; I was 1/2 way through when I found this guy at PRI. He has also done some porting work on the 4.2 heads & talked some good numbers.

I'm interested if they are properly designed and manufactured.What kind of time frame are we talking?

[02SOMWS6]

Very interested in a header.

[Trailblazin]

did anything happen with this HellHawk!? I've bought the tune finally, now i need to find the header to go along and complete my almost full bolt-ons...
Ive emailed quite a few companies regarding creating some for the 4.2L and they want some pics of the exhaust manifold, if u can provide me with some, or anyone in that case, plz post them up...
ppl i talked to was Thorley and they responded quickly

Beats me. I am not doing headers til my warranty is up. Got another year before that happens.:cool:
