Thread: Want a set of Headers for 10 bucks?

Here's your chance.

Please read this entire first post before donating.

I'm going to order a set of SD headers and have them modified to be of the same exact 'quality' as those headers that everyone is talking about.
What I'm asking from you is to donate $10 to the cause. In return for your $10, I will be making a short video to show exactly what's involved in modifying these headers to fit and function just as those other headers advertise.
Most importantly, it gives YOU the chance to receive the headers when I'm done.
On top of that, should donations exceed the cost of the project, I will also forward the remaining account balance to you.

This is an experiment/film project and I do not intend to benefit even 1 penny.
Should only 1 or 2 people donate, I will kick in the rest myself.
I will literally put the user names in a hat and film the winner being picked.
Old school.

I do ask that in the spirit of this project, you actually want to put headers on your car. Please don't enter simply to get headers for $10 and then resell them for a profit.
That'd be dick.

I will be updating this thread with a list of all those who are entered.

The drawing will take place on Thursday January 23rd at 5pm EST.
Should I be busy at this time, the drawing will be rescheduled to Friday January 24th at 5pm EST.
The drawing will be filmed and be included in the finished product. However, the actual completion of the project could take a few more days.
The winner will be announced HERE at the time of the drawing.

I'm in. When is the drawing up?

edit above for drawing date and time

Interesting. I'm down. If anything it's worth the wealth of information on how to modify then cheap and quickly.

You might upset gtp4ever with this post.

Crossover clamps ordered. These are the Torcite stainless step clamps for the crossover.
These are some of the best clamps you can buy for such an application. T-304 stainless.

Step clamps solve the issue where SD headers come with inferior style C clamps.
They ensure no leakage at the crossover connections.

closing this, at least for now. we need to discuss some things in the moderator pool.

stand by, will advise.

note that the moderator staff does not support this method of project funding. it is your own prerogative if you wish to give mr. snowflake money, but it is a risk all in itself.

it is our recommendation that this "project" be contained and funded exclusively by snowflake himself, then the headers sold thereafter if desired. the subject itself is a matter of debate. the craftsmanship of said comparable headers and how they are assembled and reworked is in itself a fair deal of work that not all can accomplish personally. marking up a product for profit is simply not a foreign concept anywhere on the planet.


either way, this is up to the people in the end. it's not our responsibility to protect you, your identity, or your funds. if you do decide to give snowflake money, just know you'll never get it back and you'll be funding a mission that he, and a select few, are adamant about.

proceed.

see you next week, tyler.

ill donate just because i love DIY ****

Im in... now just to be "rebellious"...

i've done a project or two of my own and never asked for donations. it's part of the game.

i, for one, think $600 for a set of $250 headers modified to fit properly and well as a purchased part is not all that crazy. do any of you remember how much TOGs used to be? and they kinda sucked, too.
