Man, that's a hot header right there. I can't wait to get mine. Absolutely gorgeous.

I would think the header comes with the gasket and two bolts? The stock header has bolt inserts on it where most headers have the bolt holes that are aftermarket. Maybe @ultra can chime in on this?

Yep, it has a gasket and 2 bolts. In my case 2 gaskets and 4 bolts since I got the over pipe as well.

Holy crap that thing is beautiful, thanks for posting those pictures. I got the chance to take a look at a Borla UEL this past weekend, and compared to that thing wow, it's a massive difference in quality.

i'm with you, but at least you are getting another replacement soon, I have to wait until the whole entire pre-order is done.

I have no idea when I'll be getting it replaced. I've asked three times and been ignored. You shouldn't have to settle for it.

Can't really believe it's almost been half a year...

Everyone seems to not be getting their orders. I was going to get these but now I am reconcidering. . .

People are getting them, it's just a small operation making these items. Between the skid plate issue and the flex joints causing redesign, testing and new part ordering initial estimates for production have long been passed. They are making a hand crafted item and have been very communicative, I'd shoot them am email and try talking to them to see what the lead time is on the headers.

That's good to know. This seems like a quality product and I really wanted this for my own car. I shall wait a little longer and see what more people say about this header.

Well, I just got off the phone with them and it looks like mines shipping today, which I believe I was one of the last orders on the group buy which is great news for everyone still waiting for theirs!
