There is no lack of vision or willingness here, that should be pretty clear by our previous products and customer service. There is a lack of time, investment, time, staffing, and did I mention time? Demand in the NA area is much larger than the SC area at this time.
I think sometimes people think we are larger then we are. We are literally two people; Jeremy and Yo. We work some pretty long hours as it is and we pull on other people locally to help us MFG and etc as needed. Those people often have other projects going on as well. It's also December and here in Iowa today it's 8 degrees. Not really very good testing weather which is how its been for a few weeks now plus snowfall. We're concentrating available time first to the NA application of this header and will make sure it's 120% before opening up orders.
We have plans to work on an SC warrantied option as already mentioned a few pages ago, i think... We'll be testing this as it sits, and if as I expect it will be fine. If not we'll try a different core. We're talking 3 months though before we see temps and time get to where we need for this testing to take place. I'd like to test it on track and push the temps in our silver car, but local tracks are obviously closed. We'll take donations though to get us and the cars to a track in the south.
I know I could use some warm sun! lol
Again this cat is designed for 5 liters of exhaust flow which should be just fine for a SC application. The Metal one is rated for 6 liters. Ceramic is rated to withstand temps from 1,800 °F to 3,000 °F if you got exhaust temps higher than that, well you got motor issues headed your way rather quickly.

And they no longer make them, due to costs and other issues. It's not as easy or cheap as it may seem.
