Guy's, I'm camping outside of Petes house in Maryland as soon as he has a delivery date for the 3.2L headers. I'm gonna be first in line, if I have my way! I'm anxiously and very patiently waiting!

Ody, I've got a big tent, it even has a doggy door.

where is your shop located? I can probably stop by and take some pics if it's allowed and post it here in the forum to end all the controversy

....none the less those headers are $1700 for a set. I don't know about you guys but I got collage and a life to think about here.

The fun thing about this forum is it's diversity, so we get all different viewpoints. We've got members from all walks of life from California to New Jersey. From teenagers to guys in their 50's (and maybe older). Older guys (and girls) tend to be established in life and have disposible income for toys.

For what Pete is making, $1700 is not a bad price. These are not mild steel bare headers made in China. They're stainless, Jet Hot coated (and more), and include a set of (not generic) high flow cats. They're dyno proven to add 35+ RWHP. Not a bad investment $/HP. My 3.2 is limited in torque, and my only other option is to upgrade to a newer car. Mine is long paid for, and modified in every other way, to exactly how I want it, so trading up would suck. Headers (and if anyone ever makes a supercharger) are the only option left right now for me.

I feel your pain about college. I've got one in her third year, and one more only a year away from entering (I've been a single parent for six years). Providing cars and tuition puts a crimp in MY toy budget (although I still managed to give myself an Arlen Ness customized V-twin for Fathers Day)! LOL

Excellent thread Pete. Wonderful and clear explanation of your Hugger Headers. Now the Naysayers should understand. Now they will harp on the physical location of your shop and suggest it doesn't exist. Even if you were to post pics of your shop(s) I would wagger a bet they would still buy nothing. But you already know that.

I'm tickled to see you find the strength to post another Pietro long thread in multi-color themes.

If I could offer a suggestion it would be to get Glenn more active in your shop and start shipping product. I know some clients are still waiting. Just bark the commands. Glenn will know what to do.

Peace and good health Bro'

Invest in your college, and then purchase the V or Super V model (if GM produces the Super V). Your college education will by far give you the better return on your money, your life, and your future.

If you're college age than your priorities focus in that direction for now. There are a lot of inexpensive mods you can make as the buck accumulate.

Like everyone else said, college is your first priority for a reason.
I skrimped and saved all through college, drove a 1990 Honda Accord 4banger daily and had a Ninja for my fun. And now Ive got the CTS 350z plus another vehicle (2 if ya count the vette my old man owns but sits in my garage )

Youre still young, you'll be making a small fortune soon enough.

I am going to sell my set of headers and cats I bought from pete. I dynoed before and after and from what I remember gained 40hp. Will post pics later today. They are currently installed on my cts.

[RobertCTS]

Good lord the Marine is still around!! There only a few of those headers sold and no longer available. Watcha gonna sell them for? Selling your CTS too.
