Mine won't be here till Tuesday.
It'll be going on the same day provided it's delivered early enough in the day.
I'll be sure to post pictures and such if no one else does before then.

Picked up the car from Ptuning today after their tuner worked their magic with the header and water meth. Car Pulls like a bat out of hell but still gets great gas milage (not under load of course). I need to upgrade brakes pretty fast now lol. As always thanks to @ptuning @Mrc@ptuning and crew for the amazing work!

Any chance you could take a pic looking into the other side of the collector?

Hello Everyone,

First off, we would like to thank you for your purchase of the PTUNING header and for your patience on the long wait.

We would also like to address the question of the gaskets. We opted not to include gaskets with our headers for the following reasons:

1. We currently only charge a flat rate of $23.95 for shipping on the header, but on average it cost us about $35 to ship each header. So, that is about $11 extra cost to us. So, if we now also include gaskets, on average, we will lose about $50+ for each header sold for cost of shipping and gaskets.

2. Most companies that sell headers do not include gaskets. If they do, it's a generic gaskets. We prefer to only use OEM gaskets with our header. If we were to include OEM gaskets with our header, we would have to bump the cost up by another $40. That is our cost for three gaskets.

So, we would like ask everyone's opinion on the gaskets. Should we bump up the price of the header another $40 and include the gaskets or provide an option to purchase the gaskets when ordering the header?

Thanks,
Mike @ PTUNING

I just picked up the 2 that mate header to the block and it was only $18. I forget how much the 3rd one is but it's pretty cheap.
I would say just leave the gaskets out of the price or just have a few sets in stock for people that just want to get it all from one place.

Thank you for your feedback. The 2-bolt overpipe gasket is actually more expensive than the header gasket, but we highly recommend the use of the OEM gaskets with our header. We will probably add an option to our header product to allow customers to buy the header with and without the 3 OEM gaskets for those that don't live near a Scion or Subaru dealership.

@rb6freak, you will notice a "1" marked on one of the runners and merge collector. Just be sure you align those two "1" marks when reassembling the header. Thanks for the pictures.

I'm gonna need some instructions on that one. I tried opening an image in a new tab and deleting the image file name, but that just got me a 404 message.

This is looking like a really nice header. I may be sold on this over the OFH.

Sorry about that, you used to be able to do that with flickr but I guess not anymore.





How this was fabricated is just beyond me, it is great quality. I just dropped off my header and overpipe to be ceramic coated - everyone at the shop was gawking at it.
