Default American Racing Headers Hooked me up!!

I just wanted to give a big thanks to the gang at American Racing, I recently called them looking for a new mid section for my vert. My old 1 7/8" headers worked fine,(another brand) but the mid section gets very close to the trans pan and I wanted to put a deep pan on my new trans.
Well Nick asked me why I didn't want to change the whole system out so I replied "because I'm too cheap", and the other headers worked OK that I had.
Well the UPS truck dropped off a full set of headers and mid section for me along with a set of turn downs I asked him for, when I asked him what I owed him he said N/C!!
Granted we sell allot of their systems as we sincerely feel they are the best product out there, but that was going well above and beyond the call of duty. I felt a public thanks was in order to say the least!

Anyone thinking of doing headers in the near future should jump on it now because the price of stainless is raising by the day so there will have to be an increase soon. We have C5/C6 and ZO6 headers in stock if anyone is interested.

AR headers - fit great and produce great numbers. Hard to beat that combination...

So the Vert is being brought back for the ECS CC

No PR stunt..
If someone gives you a major purchase for free a thank you is in order. We sell a chit load of these either way. I am lucky that I often recieve free product for my own car, but VERY rarely is it anywhere near the amount of a full set of headers, thats all.

We have found gains from the new AR's, I have recieved PM's asking if they should switch and my response is no, but if we are installing a new set they will be American racing headers.

Yup I just cant sit sidelined, I'm a participant, not a spectator. I wont have the fastest car there, but a mid nine 100% street car is what I'll be running.

I'm keeping the vert completely streetable (stock trans-AC-pump gas) so I can race and still go on the fun runs comfortably. We'll meet up Ikster, I'll give you a head start.

*****Official Pay it forward Christmas style thread*****
Got any early C5 ARH's laying around? LS6 Heads, intake manifold, timing chain, ported oil pump, oh yeah....and that new cam everyone is talking about.
You remember my car right? It's a 1998 torch red six speed.

J/K......I do want to wish everyone at ECS a Merry Christmas and a Healthy and Happy New Year....

I'll chime in and say Nick took care of me today. Awesome customer service. The AR headers make my car come alive at 3,000. Makes me think NASCAR style. I'll see what my buddy at work thinks tomorrow when I take him for a little trip at lunch, he'll probably want to sell his TA.
I'd highly recommend Nick and AR Headers to anyone.
