<x-charset iso-8859-1>Let me clear this up once and for all. NOBODY makes a merged header other than S&S for the T-3. The other companies that do make an "exhaust", make an extractor, not a full race merged header. A true merged header does not have heater boxes, or J-pipes. The T-3 members of this list probably comprise 1/2 the T-3s in the US (I'm exaggerating), so unless you get together to buy 50 units (that's how many we have to buy to get a custom exhaust made up ) you are wasting you time talking to them, they do not give a rats ass for your feedback since you have no "weight" as a purchasing consumer. Face it, T-3 buyers for a custom exhaust system are few and far between. If you want one, step up and pay the $800 and have one built, I'll be happy to give you a referral. The Thermostat issue is one that was present in the T-1 units too. Most guys think that removing the thermostat and flaps system is an "improvement" and it took years to convince anyone that they are necessary. Yet we still fight the same battle, even with manufacturers on many products. We carry a lot of products from a lot of places, and every supplier we have has products we REFUSE to carry because they are making what sells, not what works. It's a catch-22, but since you guys are into the T-3 thing, you have to do it yourself, S&S or anyone else isnt' going to listen to you. Arrange 50 units to be built, THEN they'll listen. Unfortunately, this is a fact, and that's the way it is. Sorry to rain on anyone's parade.
