Crapt I am saving for their sway bars right now. Oh the challenges of having five children and a go fast addiction! If these are available by January 2014 I just may spend some of my bonus on a set. However I promised my wife this car wouldn't smell like my former Mustang Cobra with LTs and no cats. Will there be a catted option? What kind of x-pipe will it be? I am very fond of Magnaflow and their tru-x crossover pipe.

The air tubes are the metal tubes that run into the headers near the block. You can see them if you look from the top on each side. That is where air is injected, It would be foolish to run cats and not have air injection as the cats would be prone to fouling and quicker failure from not heating quickly after start up. All the extra hydrocarbons that are produced on a cold start get clogged in the cat, what saves the cat is when it gets to operating temp it can effectively remove these with no harm and clean emissions. Without air injection, the cats can get plugged with the HC's and not run clean until they heat up on their own, which needless to say happens much slower than with the air system.

Couldn't wait on these
My installer (LWA Doraville GA) is ready to install my 243 heads/Comp Cam so I decided to go with AR Headers. Wish you all the best with the PFADTS when released. Got a good friend with them installed on his ZR1..look fantastic and they sound great.

My installer called Pfadt and I beleive XTremePerformance in Fla. who is a distributor for PFADT and have been advertising on our C5 forum. The story he got was they aren't available yet. They will take your money...as they charged his account, but none have shipped. Im not going to bash them because I think they have a great product....I really hope you are correct and get them soon.
