For a second, I thought I was in the Covid thread.



Anyways. I'll say it again. Headers are considered "hot parts". Meaning, they are made to order. Ordering from a 3rd party seller only means that they put the order in for you. Always contact the manufacturer directly, even better, do some research and see if the seller actually has them in stock.
This was explained to me by JDL when I got my UEL last year. They are also hand made, or welded. Quality takes time. Other brands like Borla, TOMEI, might have faster ways of producing their product, but may only sell a certain amount to each re-seller.

That plus added the shortage of workers, materials, etc.



Like I said on your classified thread, keep an eye on those threads as headers do pop up. I think even an ACE showed up less than a week ago. Facebook marketplace is not a bad place either. I think an OEM is like $100 which should hold you up for a while until you get something better.
