Default My Exotic Muscle headers are in the mail, let the mod fest begin!

Spoke with Trevor today and he told me he'd be shipping them today or Monday. He has a few extras if anyone else is looking.

Time for the front end modfest (to complement last year's rear end mod fest):

HOT cam
upper and lower a-arm poly bushings
long tube headers
bullet cats

Looking for a 12.2-12.3 at Union Grove (no small feat).

:cheers: My TPiS longtubes are in the mail - can't wait to get them! I agree, running a low 12 at da grove will be a challenge. We should meet up when you go (I'm doing a top end this spring) and show those Saleens who's boss! :D

I'll have drag radials to go with my long tubes, HOT cam and 4.10:1 gear. For me, if's it's not a challange, it's not fun.

I'm game, we'll have to wait a few months. I just took my Vette out for a battery charging, seal moisting cruise and it started snowing on me :(

Anyone seen anything yet? I thought if they shipped Monday I would have gotten them by the end of Friday, but alas, looks like I'll be working on home improvements again this weekend. :sleep:

Well I hope you guys have better luck with Trevor than I did I got told they would be shipped out the next day for a week and a half.Took almost 4 weeks before I got mine, I will say they fit great but overall quailty was poor for the money they charge. :cheers:

I believe this is why they went with another fab house, which in turn added delays. You must have gotten a bum pair because everyone I privately talked to about the EM headers said they were some of the highest quality ones out there under $1000.

I too was hoping to see them today.. :cry

Ask for a tracking number... That will show where they are :yesnod:

Waiting patiently. I gave them my charge card number last week, so if I don't see 'em in the next few weeks I'll call the card company and cancel. I waited 4 months for nothing from Doug Rippie, this seems to be the norm for headers.

Snow sucks - kinda figures that it wouldn't start dumping on us until Feb... Let's hope that Da Grove has better track management this year. It seems to be hit or miss depending on the weekend you go.

It also seems to be hit or miss as far as track stickiness. Sometimes I got a great launch with no spin and others I spun like a mad dog. I'm hoping to not get behind any more Pontiac Grand Prixs - they like to drag water all the way from the box to the lights... :rolleyes:

I only go on weeknights, weekends are busy with family stuff. I've never had good traction or good air at the Grove, it's convenient, that's why I go there. Byron is much better, but it's only open on weekends and they typically have races, limiting the number of runs for a hack like me.

:iagree: I ran my best time at Byron last season. You're right about the races though. Last time I went, the spokesperson said that it was dead and that we'd get unlimited runs in. Turns out that it was "UTI day" and needless to say, we waited more than raced... :)

They arrived on Thursday, I've been too busy at work to even have a look at them until today. Very nice finsh, if the fit is as good as I've heard it'll be worth the wait.
