Ok pics are on the TwIsTeR page. Three models This is the SC single connection, TC Turbo connection and DC for the Double. Starter did not have to be removed to install Header. A/c, powering steering no problem. Don

Wow, that's certainly funkatronic! :shock: Never seen anything quite like it before. I'm not quite sure I'd call it a header, more like a tubular exhaust manifold. Where does it come from, and at what cost? Looks like no provision for intake manifold heat or EGR, right? Here, I'll post pics from your site:

1) You are not charged by the letter to post here on the board. Please use complete words.

2) Yes, it looks different. Sound different? No, probably not. "Six runners into a common transverse log pipe with a single outlet" describes both the stock exhaust manifold and this piece.

Those are claims. Where are the data?

And, um, where is the link to this product????

I still want to know what it is made out of? Is it mild steel tubing? ( gonna rust out soon?) or is it stainless, with a cool coating on it?

We can make this out of any material :twisted: , this one is thick wall aluminized pipe. No RUST anytime soon. More than 10lbs lighter than cast. Cost affective for / owners, :wink: money not a problem, we will make them out of gold yes gold if you want. :lol: Hope this helps Don

Ah, OK, "we". That answers my question in the other thread about whether you have a commercial interest in this item. Sounds as if you do.

So you say. And yet...still no price, still no link. Why is that? :?: :?:

Link to where Dan? Getting closer. Not commercial interest. I have been drag racing starting with my first car. This was 73 Duster 198 That ran 20.2 stock, when we finished first year the car ran 16.7 with me 4th place for the year, with 40 street cars in the class all year! So worked on autos for 20 years after that. Roofing contractor by trade now, this is our hobby. I build home made 2to30mhz Amps and Antennas Many designs no one has seen before, like the PowerPipe. We have many units all over the world, as pictured on Dodge Girls radio page. The PowerPipe-SC (single connection) run was finished last week, not just 1 THAY ARE READY TO SHIP. Now for the DC (double connection) 1 week to build, photos when complete, 1 week to test, then the PRICE!! I can tell yall that the SC and DC model will be the same price! With the TC little More. Hope this helps DON

Link to info on the product. You mentioned various outlet configurations, but had to be asked, what, a dozen times for pricing and source info. Eventually you let us in on the big secret (you and/or a company you're involved with make these), but you still haven't provided any pricing information...all you've said is that it's 'cost effective'.

Mmmm...nope. You make 'em, and that means you have a commercial interest in them, which explains why you started three threads about them, very enthusiastically.

OK, but where's the backup/support on the claim that your tubular manifold is better than stock?

New designs are terrific in and of themselves, 'cause they represent new approaches and new thinking. But to get anywhere beyond admiring the new design just because it's a new design, we need proof, evidence, data, support for the claims made.

Fantastic! That should make it easy to get some solid comparisons between the stock manifold, this tubular manifold of yours, Dutra Duals, and the various headers that are out there. Oh...you're talking about antennas and amps, not tubular exhaust manifolds. :-( OK, well, I'm sure with your slant-6 driving and racing experience, you've got plenty of different exhaust configurations to try out, and it's also likely that there are people willing and able to test your tubular exhaust manifold (please let's be accurate: it's not a header) in exchange for a decent discount off its price, or in exchange for quality data you can use to sell the product to people who don't open their wallets just 'cause somebody claims to have something that's better without any support for the claims.

Good...now where's the pricing info, and where's the data showing how they affect performance, economy, driveability, etc? Also still waiting for a real response on the choke issue.

Just to make it clear, I'm not trying to attack you or smear your product, it's just that you're behaving very strangely. You're amongst friends and colleagues and like-minded tinkers; there's no need to hoodwink us or dazzle us with hype, just plain old facts will work much better, so why are we having to drag each and every little sliver of relevant information out of you? C'mon, man, give us a break, willya please?
