well on another forum with its panties tied up in a knot, posted this and it got deleted
so will share it here, maybe more then one post where its aplicablehi
am very fortunate to have gotten a 4.7 with headers already fitted
have had much interest every time I mention wj 4.7 headers
as I bought the jeep with the headers already on, me not sure who built them or where they were fitted
there is however an exhaust manufacturer about 20km from my place, that I have headers from on two more of my vehicles
the one time that I was there, they said that they have headers in stock for the 4.7 wj
so after a conversation early hrs this morning over PM after another thread where I mentioned headers, made a trip to wild cat exhaust and had a serious discussion with them.
and YES, their site is currently down, and will supply a direct email address and a phone number
also asked to see the headers that they have for 4.7 wj.
took photos
and here there was a little disappointed, as these are short headers, not the same as my ones
however there is hope
went on my webshots page and showed wildcat what my headers look like
their response: they can make a set or more like my ones.
they will use my ones as a template, improve/clean up on the bends and the joints
prices of the short headers sound very reasonable, and the long headers like my one would be a bit more, however if you going to do it, go all the way, this is now just my opinion
although the short headers might suite some guys better
Frik from wild cat, says that to be worth their wiles to make their header a number of 5+ sets would be favorable, that would also help with shipping
as it will involve taking my headers off my Jeep, and using them as a template
they can be ceramic coated, painted. . . . . what ever is requested
so if you guys are interested in a group bye, then here is an opportunity
one of the things that always comes up besides the shipping is the LHD and the RHD issue
if you look at the pics of my headers they are away from the steering and other equipment/accessories
if you follow the link in my Sig to my webshots page, you will see what I talking about
