Dang!! Didn't you order those like 2-3 months ago???

I would see if you can find a contact number for the manufacturer. See if they have a list of resellers they can point you too or if they can sell direct to you.

 

Hi Tadd,
I'm was sorry to read your above post
Found the below on E-Bay, but I don't know anything about these headers, but you may want to check them `out...Good Luck

Sorry to hear this, that sucks for your header modding. Hope you can source some out. Custom ones could get to be a tad bit spendy, but maybe worth it for a Gold Class car like yours. Good luck

 

Tad:
That's a real drag for sure....

I don't know what your currently running (I forgot)
I do that a lot nowadays... for some odd reason...


I know Thorleys are the way to go forsure!

Maybe throw some Hookers on it?

Or even a set of Black Jacks?

I know its a step down.... But I think youll end up with a good result performance wise!

 

That sux.

 

Thanks guys - Thorley is not producing any headers for the Monte LS4 engine at this time. It's not the fault of Auto anything. auto anything does not stock theses specialized headers but ordered them as needed and can no longer order them from Thorley.

On the 1st back order a month ago or so I actually talked to Thorley, they quoted supplier issues.

I will check out Space's link (thanks space)

Edit.

Space the header on the link are stainless steel headers, ok for performance but not show. Stainless discolors and needs constant polishing. The Thorley's where ceramic coated chrome colored maintenance free.

I know, I am being picky but at the Monte Nationals this year I took a hit on my stock exhaust manifolds because of the discoloration.

I am going for Class of excellence next year and wanted to fix all the issues the judges found with the Deuce. (I got a judging sheet used on the Deuce from John)

I probably will wait until spring and see if Thorley has resumed production for my model of headers at that time

Again thanks for the effort and help Space

edit... edit.

Got some links from the MCF on face book and did some calling. On one call, the problem is I am told, most places do not actually stock the headers but order them from Thorley (saves warehouse space) the guy I called said he will talk to Thorley tomorrow.

He also said Thorley had some production issues and are playing catch-up right now and headers for the LS4 are not top priority. He didn't think they would actually stop making them, just may take a while

 

Wish hooker made headers for it David but I don't believe they do. Curse of the FWD car syndrome

 

Sounds to me some of the issue with scoring the Class of Excellence is the curse of a car that is actually driven. If one of the biggest issues with the Deuce was a discolored stock manifold, it's clear that a car that is driven is going to have trouble winning that class (not impossible, just difficult). Any thoughts to coating the stock mani's in something that will not discolor as bad and might be cheaper and less trouble then the headers? Or where you also looking for a performance boost from the headers??

 

Tad heres some thorleys I found...

Not sure if this were the ones you were referring to...
Or if this is the place to get them from....
