I just checked and it still shows 10 sets available. Did you try to buy one and got a email back or something?

I am not an exhaust expert, but I have always read that the size and length of the collector helps the low end torque. From the look of those headers having zero collector length and 2 1/2 sized collector IMO it might actually hurt your bottom end.... From what I have read the collector size and length actually helps the scavenging effect, thus creating/increasing low end torque... The size of the primary tube and length directly effects the HP at mid-upper RPM ranges.... Then again I might be wrong....

Nope, you're right about the collector having an effect on HP on NA engines, but at these prices you could buy fancy stepped/hour glass shaped merge collectors and end up with better suited headers/collectors than most headers out there for about the same money.

Now that sounds like an idea!!! I have looked into different types of collectors, cause I was thinking of doing something similar to a certain header and the collectors are only like $50-$100....

where do you find these collectors? I need a way to bolt my exhaust up? I did not see anything at Sumit but I may not have looked at the right place?
