hey guys, thanks so much for the continued interest in this project...
it is still in the works, as i have been waiting on some designs to come back right now...it is a slow, tedious process that is driving me absolutely crazy!
BUT, i know that you will be very pleased with the results...i can not disclose what i have in the works right now, but i promise it will be worth the wait!
thanks for hanging in there...

hoping that it's a "shorty" set-up though, as we do have annual inspections here in PA - I also like the idea of mods that are fairly "bolt-on" and therefore relatively easy to convert back to stock, if ever need be...
so I'll be one (of the many...) anxiously awaiting further info next week!

i had a great meeting with the fabricator today! this guy is good and this project will be a walk in the park for him, considering that he works on mult-million dollar projects and my friend (he is a welding inspector) that referred me to him said he has never seen a defect in this guy's welds, ever! he is the best!
He is going to do a little research on material and get back to me at the beginning of the week. once he does, then i will place an order for the appropriate material and we will get together to fabricate the headers.
the time table that i am looking at to have a prototype set done and on the car is 2-3 weeks, mainly because i have a feeling it will take that long to get all of the material together (mainly the flanges produced)...he is ready to do it and can get together with me whenever once i have all of the materials gathered for the prototype set...
i will continue to update this as i have information...

430- i have a set of SLK manifolds coming in, once the C32/C320 project is done, then i will start on that one...once we get the first set fabricated, the rest should be fairly easy...

i know, i have seen it, but it is not going to be a problem...i actually wish the C32 had this kind of design from the factory, it would make it a lot easier...

Also very interested! Of course would like to see price and dyno when available. Hopefully these prices will be a little less....inflated. Even with low production the current market price on headers for us is rediculous.
