OpenFlash Header Production Specs/Pics - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

There is a bottom limit for certain parts like turbos and others but yes i agree parts are expensive.

The market will usually sort this out in short order, assuming the car keeps being built.

Great stuff. Can't wait for mine -- assuming I'm in the second or third batch if they're in fives.
@shiv@vishnu I emailed your sales team awhile back to get gaskets added to my order but no response. How should I go about that?

I'll second the request for a pic inside of the collector.

Sorry... had to open up a box to take collector pics:

In the first pic, exhaust goes from left to right. In the second pic, exhaust goes towards you. Just in case there was any confusion

Looks really good. Way better quality then Borla. But as long as it works and does not leak I will stick with it. Any clips of the way it sounds?

Waiting on the results of OFT, OFH and ESC. I want to buy all three at the same time if things go well.

the guy that comes in and gives quality at the RIGHT, non over inflated price, ALWAYS wins. There are several forum vendors out there (one I'm thinking that is specifically in strict competition with this header) that are charging way too much for parts for this car.

Shiv has a great business model, and I will continue to support them with everything I buy (have OFT, ordered OFH, want OFSC). He's obviously got the business knowledge to take advantage of business situations.

25k car that most will DD = people not wanting (or able) to spend $1k + on headers, $1k+ on exhaust, $5000 FI, etc.

Get the price right, make tons.

read my lips, vishnu tuning will lead sales for this platform for aftermarket solutions.

Could not agree more...

I believe I'm in the second batch of OFH orders at #10 - already notified my mechanic I would be looking to have the header installed sometime early February... having a hard time waiting to have it delivered and installed.

Indeed, the OFH looks as good or better than the Borla UEL it copies.

I want to first make sure the combos gains warrant getting both.

Especially the welding of the joints and the collector portion..

Cannot wait for tax return! My car needs something to make it sound right, lol.

Copies? Here is pics to compare. It looks like the collector on the OFH is larger than the Borla. If you agree then that is a significant design change comparison as the collector plays a huge role in the performance of an aftermarket header.

When you compare the two they both have similar price points with the Borla costing a little more but with a lifetime warranty and flex joints
