Default Watson Headers?

I followed Dan Durbin's ZR-1 out of Carlisle this weekend and noticed he had the flowmaster exhaust just like my car. But his car sounded so much better. I asked him on the street what else he had. Dan told me Watson Headers!
Now I want some Watson Headers.
Where can I buy some, and how much will they set me back. (Since I spent all my cash at Carlisle!)

Thanks

Default Watson Headers; new option ready!

Ed:
There are no more Watson headers to be had. Earl at Watson retired and took the knowledge with him. Currently your choices are Jeals at 1300 a pop, or the ones I'm doing, which are $895. They both utilize 304 Stainless Steel and the primary tubes are one piece. I have a couple of sets built but it will be after Labor Day before I can ship them. Lots of people are wanting these things so I guess now is as good a time as any... Everyone that wants a set, shoot me an email at balspaug@indiana.edu. I ask for half the cost up front(so I know you are serious). Thanks.

Hi Ed,

Sorry we did not get to talk more. Your 91 is great looking, especially how the harness bar looks from behind the car.
My 91 has 1 3/4 inch Watson headers that have been Jet Hot coated.

I have seen the headers that Brian is selling and can tell you that they are great looking and very nicely built. His price is indeed very fair. I would have waited for them but I stumbled onto a set of these Watsons that were brand new for $700.

Check your e-mail- I have another item for you.

Dan
