I only asked for the price without the Ypipe  . I never said count me in. but at 550 it's not a great deal for me. But, if the price without Y could be 450, I jump on it and stor the headers in my room
Sorry
Well, at SHOshop, 550 gets you headers only, no MIL's, no Y-pipe. Add 60-80 for MIL's, unless you build your own for about 20 bucks, and you're closing in fast on MSDS' retail price of 660.
I would've participated, but I needed a set of headers much sooner, and Marty had a set of display headers, so I took those at a price closer to retail. He's a great person to deal with, so hopefully, this GB will happen, or at least some of you guys will get a better price.

I got in on the last GB. I'll say this about the MSDS coating, when I opened the box there were places on the headers and y-pipe where the coating was rubbed off by the shifting during shipping. I did not want to pay shipping to send them back to be recoated again and possibly have bare spots again. Instead, I sent them to Jet Hot.
I tried to install them myself but decided to wait until I have someone to help me. At this point, I'm waiting until my garage is dry enough to sweep the sand and salt out and hopefully not be cold enough to see my breath, as it is now in the midwest.
I did install the y-pipe. Better throttle response and nice sound. Cant't wait to install the headers. I have noticed the temp guage does not show the engine is running any hotter then with the stock y-pipe. I think the heat contol and longevity of the Jet Hot coating will be worth the expense in the long run. Plus the coating looks very cool.

Yes. The real test for the heat control aspect of the coating will come when the headers are on as well as the y-pipe and I'm stuck in traffic in mid-July but so far the coated y-pipe does not seem to heat the oil in the oil pan any more than the stock pipe. If I rememer correctly, it cost about $220 for the three pieces and shipping.

Doesn't seem like it bro. It's bad timing though. After Christmas and with so much other stuff going on it's hard to pull somethin' off at this time.
I have to buy the headers for my 3L build up but I'll try to start one prior to summer time.

i dont think its the g/b's or the people here that are disappointing...its the timing...600 is kinda alot to spend right after xmas and many people are trying to either get headers or body kit or something
i remember nyceboi asking in a poll what would people like to see in a g/b and im guessing the headers won...i voted for something else cheaper but it obviously didn't win
and msds doesn't allow for much time for the g/b...they basically gave us less than 30 days to send the money in...i woulda been in if the time limit hadn't been so damn short, but i dont have 600 to spare in that short amount of time
i've been thinking that if they would let me subtract the y-pipe, the coating and the shipping/insurance charge since they are close enuff for me to pick up it would be in the 400's and that would much more manageable, but its' too late now either way....its time to buy a new washer and dryer and get my tags and damn i want them but.....

i already paid for mine. Full non GB price, so it looks like you'll either have to wait for another GB or pay normal price. I myself am sick of waiting for everyone else to get there [censored] together. the choice is yours......
