I am out on the island I used kooks for my car, but with that not being an option these guys are my friends they have on going DSE projects and make all their own pipe work. Ask for harold

Hell Bent Race Cars
(631) 761-8470
190 Blydenburg Rd
Islandia, NY 11749

Or American racing headers they are on the island also

So $1700 total? That is an impressive kit.

How many hours do you think for the mockup?

[eupp]

Stainless are some very nice folks to work with

[GRNOVA]

About 24 hours

Not sure how well you know of the DSE product line but they aim their products at most DiY home builders and resto shops not guys like the Ring Brothers or Rad rides by Troy where as those guys build everything from scratch. This is their target market so in that regard this is a lack of kit support by not partnering with an exhaust company to make these parts for their primary audience. There is a big difference with a build like mine and ones that guys commission top builders like Alloway or Troy a half million bucks to build. dSE kits come with instruction books illustrated and a full feature install DVD, its obvious what i stated above is a fact on their target market.

I know this has been posted for awhile, but I haven't had or taken the time to log on for a while. So please humor me.
Can't say I agree with your statement. DSE builds upper level components that find their way on to plenty of high end/high performance cars. Ability levels vary so much that I would never say any kit was or wasn't intended to be installed by a DIYer. I've seen plenty of guys that work out of their home garage that I would love to have working for me. I've also seen professional shops that turn out work that makes me wonder how they stay in business.

Me too ... and of course we see amazing craftsmanship from the top shops.
