Just as promised Drew finished up the plastic 3D prints of the new GT-R headers. Here they are installed on the car. The next step will involve installing the motor into the car along with our support brackets and custom manifold heat shields to check final fitment. If all works out then its time to cast!

Starting to get pretty exciting!

Wow this is amazing craftsmanship and design. In an industry full of hackjobs, good to see that someone is doing the right thing and making money by building quality stuff, rather than building crap and trying to turn a quick buck. Very impressed.

Doesn't seem like Nissan left you guys with that much room to build down there.

I agree with the post above. 95% of this industry consists of people just re-selling old technology to make a quick buck. You guys are leading the industry with new products and research.

Anyway, keep us updated with the great work.
