Open Flash Header Discussion
 

Since the original openflash header thread got pushed to the market place area there's been a lack of openflash header love in the exhaust section. The original open flash header thread has turned into more at a order status thread than anything else.

I was hoping to let this be the place to continue the discussion and share impression and media! I hope everyone likes the sound of that!

Open Flash Header Discussion
 

Thanks!
But when I said
That's the thread I was referring to
Not trying to be rude or anything

Yea I'm with you on making this thread. I'd love to consolidate info and the latest available maps here, instead of spending a ridiculous amount of time clicking through that threads pages, searching for the answer to a simple question.

Has anyone gotten these ceramic coated?

I have seen one of the Vishnu tuning guys recommend against getting it coated, possibly because of the stainless construction. But I prefer to lower underhood temps if possible. The increased longevity is nice too.

If I install the OFH, is it guaranteed to void my emission test? lol

Yes.

Start this discussion off right....with some UEL porn...

Great idea for thread start in this forum section.

Recommend against coating???? That's a first I have seen from anyone. Maybe they meant wrapping? JDL will void warranties if you wrap your header, but not coat it.

Yeap, double coated with the +2200 stuff on the outside and 1 coat of the fire retardant type on the inside. I can touch the header when I get home so I know the heat is mostly from the engine.

IIRC they said it wasn't necessary while NA, unsurety must have been mistaken about Shiv saying we shouldn't.

I probably got mixed up. I would never wrap a header anyway.

I didn't know if it had anything to do with maybe the coating not adhering to the stainless.

Good timing getting the oft before your race! Never done auto x before but I plan to. Looks like a blast!

Nice recovery in your second video !

anybody have no access to the real thread ?

I noticed earlier today that there is a lock icon on the thread. I can still go into the thread and read everything like normal. Not sure if it will let me post anything though. I haven't tried that. Attachment 92296

It is locked and unreadable.

Could it be to do with Shiv's signature announcing OFT350 coming soon!

I have no idea about vendor rules and sponsership.

Shiv posted something about being a few hours late with a vender payment and temp. lost his vender status

Nice save or really lucky....either way I enjoyed it.

Might as well repost it here!

If it helps anyone else, I ordered August end and was told I'm order 41. They didn't bother clarifying if that means I'm actually directly at the cutoff or after it, but he did mention that the next batch should be here in ~3 weeks (which, sadly, makes me think I'll be missing this order period).

I've seen that happen several times with them.

Too serious about vendorship on these forums

It's back :)

I don't know why but the real thread still not active for me ...

Same.

Maybe shiv fixed it on his end but the admins are dragging their feet or something

Hi guys,
I asked the admin to unlock the thread last night. So it shouldn't be too much longer.

OFT350? Do you have any info on this? I am close to buying OFT+OFH but if new versions are coming id much rather wait!

Pretty sure that's a boosted package. More than likely a Vortech kit, OFT, and OFH

Ordered may 9. Looks like it's not coming till end of October. No shipping email today. 😡😡

Wow, that's quite a long wait.

I'm in the market for a catless UEL header and a possible 5 month wait is a deal breaker.

I will guess the OFT350 is the same vortech supercharger kit they currntly have ie the OFT300 running 9psi on petrol. where i guess the OFT350 will run 11psi via different pulley and possibly run on E85 only a guess though.

doubt it got anytthing to do with the oft device itself

Update: Headers have cleared customers and they are en route to our office :)

Yay🎉🎉🎊🎊

Supply has caught up with demand. I don't think anyone will even have to wait a month now, just a shame for some caught out at the start of the big batch.

That's awesome! Thanks for the update Shiv.

This just in:

This should make a lot of (very patient) people happy :)

Looks like we have yet another shipment of OFHs arriving at the docks within a week. Since we still don't officially have them in stock, the price is staying the same. But once that next shipment comes in (and they are officially in-stock items), price will be raised by $75.

We would like to thank everyone who waited so patiently for this shipment to come in. They will ship out on Monday :)

So the cost will now be:

$610 header
$50 gaskets
$40 shipping
——–
$700 total

I can get the Tomei UEL with gaskets/hardware for $25 less. Or the Revworks with gaskets for just a hair more. Is the OFH BETTER than these?? With the increased price, what now is the appeal over similarly priced competitors?

Sorry, I should have been more clear. The $75 price increase is for non-OFT customers. For OFT customers, the price will increase by $50. Regardless, I still stand by the claim that our header will outperform any header on the market, regardless of price. It's not a coincidence that we ended up with a 4-1 UEL design after testing all other configurations (4-1 EL, 4-2-1 UEL, etc,.) And in terms of fabrication quality, I'd say it's in a class by itself as well. No flame war intended :burnrubber:
