hey i was think about getting this but i wanna go SC soon would this be worth it and just got 3in from the cat-back???? cause i know people doing 3in y pipe and cat-back from warpspeed.

 

to my knowledge group buy is over

 

damnit. looks like i'll buy something else when I sell my truck. maybe a CF Trunk lid?

 

dood a trunk lid ? hit up ebay for a week, your right there still !

 

Is this GD still on??? I get paid in a few weeks and i'm thinking about making this an early birthday gift to myself!!!

 

well they finally cleared customs and are in Cattmans warehouse now! huge crate of them sitting there ready to be shipped out! i went and picked mine up yesturday (7-23-04) and let me tell you these things are beautiful cant wait to install them!

 

Nope the group deal is over from what i hear. Sorry alicious

 

great. this bites. i need a pair of these for my vq35. come on. sell me 1 pair cause i dont feel like buying stock ones cause my front headers were cracked and i want aftermarket. let me know.

 

I'm sure Donkey is selling some Stillen ones on the cheap...along with a few other members.

 

They're still available, just not at the sale price. They're available at $795 until our new website goes up, then the price increases to $825 - long overdue because the value of the New Zealand $ has risen so much against the US$.

Just call our order line, 800.759.9920, 8-5 MST, M-F. [Once the new site goes up you can order them on line.]

that sucks. so no way i can get them for cheaper?

 

if the group deal was still on i would have bought one today. I can't believe i missed out on this one. I am sure if it was still on, cattman could sell another 5-10 sets easily.

 

any chance in only the headers? i already have catt y pipe

 

the headers replace the Y-pipe...

 

hey can you please pm me the sound clip as well, thanks

 

I would like a sound clip as well please. Also, are there plans for a new GD for these headers? I would be ready to buy immediately.

 

Holy smokes. You guys must make a ton on these headers with the high prices. Any more sales you planning on in the future? When will we be able to buy them for $600?

 

i know they replace the y pipe but i spent 300 on the downpipe why cant the y pipe bolt onto the headers?

 

that is waht i am saying. that would be so much better and more people would buy them casue they would be cheaper.

 

Why are you asking questions that have been answered a 100 times? Look at the cattman headers and then at your y-pipe, do you think they'll fit together? If they meade a shorty header to fit stock and aftermarket y-pipes the gains wouldn't be as good.

 

Cattman headers are a great product, customers are nuts about the power and the sound, and I wish there was a fat profit too, but that's not the case.

As much as I hate to say it, the profit margin on these is lousy and most people in this business wouldn't touch this deal. Cost of production is high because its craft work instead of mass produced - which is typical in New Zealand - and my prices wouldn't go down if I ordered twice as many. Cost to bring them to the US is high because the US$ has declined 35% against the NZ$ since we started importing these, and because air freight runs $60-70 per header.

You're not too far away, I'd estimate about $20. You can get the exact shipping cost when you call my ordering service (800.759.9920).

BTW, we're just got 2-3 more sets. There's another batch in the pipeline, but probably 3-4 weeks away.

would an MEVI kit mess with the fitment of these headers?

 

Nope, they go very well together.

Look if Cattmans does this group deal again. I'm in for sure in..... got $2,000 in my paypal account. Ready when they come out again for $695

 

I am definitely on this deal if he can pull it for 695 again....

anyone else in so we can show cattman its worth another GD???

 

If its at 695, I am in. I have the money ready to go. I hope we can get this GD together.

 

i would be in if this opens up again within a few months

 

just two quick question: if I get these, and decided to go boosted, would I need to dump the headers??? also.... I'm tired of my magnaflow exhaust... What good quality setup would compliment this exhaust system?? brand/price/part please thanks so soo far we have.

I showed a tremendous gain with cattman's headers, being boosted... somewhere in the 22 hp range IIRC.... you can see the dyno charts on my cardomain site...

Using the headers while not being boosted will still give you big gains, but not like being boosted will show.

If you want your car to sound incredible, I would recommend getting cattman's catback system as well as the headers... they sound incredible - as anyone who has the setup can tell you... I wouldn't trade mine for any other setup that's available, that's for sure... a nice deep throaty sound - not ricey at all.

again, you can see pics of everything on my cardomain site...

PS - Hey Brian, I replied to your emails a few weeks ago but didn't get a response... did you get my replies?

 

PPS - I think Brian gives a discount on orders that total over a certain dollar amount too...

 

Guys... Brian just said that the profit on these is not that great... If you all remember, the only reason he offered the group deal in the first place was because he got stuck holding a large quantity of them that another retailer bailed out on...

Think about the competition... Stillen's headers have been a fiasco.... and look at all the recent problems with the Hotshot headers not fitting and having to be manipulated to fit...

Have you heard of either of these problems with Cattman's headers?

Remember, great quality doesn't come cheap...

Oh yeah, I paid FULL PRICE for my headers and Catback exhaust, if anyone's wondering...

 

okay maybe the profit might not be great....but what if we can gather MORE people to jump on this GD than ever before? than will cattman be able to pull this off?

 

definitely never hurts to ask!

what do you think brian?

 

I'm interested as well.

 

We're running very low on our current header inventory, but another batch is in production right now and should arrive in 3-4 weeks.

The only thing I can say for sure right now is that there won't be another $695 group deal in the near future because the US$ continues to weaken against the New Zealand $ and my price continues to climb. As a result, the price we pay has gone up 40% since we bought the first set and our retail price will go up to $825 when the next batch arrives (we've still got a couple of sets for $795).

We plan to have the new web site up by Monday and when the headers arrive, we'll feature them as a weekly special. Since I don't know what they'll cost in US$ till I pay for them, I can't commit to a price right now, but it won't be as low as $695.

That means that all you guys that really want one, should get it before the price jumps....

 

He makes a good point. On request, we knock 10% off of our retail prices on multi-part orders that add up to over $1500. [Based on regular retail prices only and there are a very few parts that are 5% off.] There's also a feature on the new web site that allows the customer to design their own full exhaust system - with headers or y-pipe, and an optional cataytic convertor (once our new ones are ready), plus catback exhaust - and there are considerable savings built into those prices.

Obviously I'd recommend going with a full Cattman exhaust, combining the headers with the Cattman Cattback. The sound and power from that combination can't be equalled, as Ceasar's Chariot, Steve at SWAW and others will attest.

Damn that hella sux to hear....I seriously would have bought a set from you when u still had the price at 695....the only thing was....i still didnt have my 5th gen at the time....and i didnt wanna buy headers for this car...and potentially run into a problem and end up not gettin a 5th gen...so that is the whole reason why i held off...and by the time i got my 5th gen....the GD was pretty much over....

well keep us posted at least....maybe u can pull it at a slightly higher price than 695? around the 725 range maybe? i dunno....i am just real interested in this header thats all....until HS fixes their fitment issues and guarantees it...i am sprung on these cattman headers.....
