So DRM and EM don't make them but do they still sell them? Merle at EM would sell them to me, but does he get them from Stainless works?


When I talked to Corey was still working on the first set (prototypes) and should be done with them in Dec

Yes he gets them from stainless works. And the price on the website is more than likely incorrect.

Optional, probably. I have the SW Headers with Swain coating (which had been recommended to me). I'm glad that I did it and would probably do it again, altho there are some who would argue that it is an unnecessary expense.

Stainless Works. I never noticed any increased heat issue.

They're pretty much the only game in town for new ones.
