After almost 3 years this is finally completed! Lots of people have been waiting for it, in this post Chris and I will address the cost, availability and etc of the system.
First off, you must use 72-74 or 79 heaterboxes. The 75-78 heaterbox system will not support the use of this header and no plans are being made for an adaptation of the unit to work with the 75-78 arrangement.
72-74 heaterboxes will bolt onto any oval exhaust port TIV Bus engine, including those from 75-78. We sell the new 72-74 heaterboxes in the store and are working on making a run of heaterbox bypass tubes to compliment this header for those who do not want heat. These will be available in about 6 weeks.
Trailer hitches:
we can't make an exhaust system to accomodate dozens of different factory and home built trailer hitches. We won't even attempt this as it would increase complexity of the system as well as costs. If you have a trailer hitch you'll have to accomodate the exhaust system, not vice versa.
The first 10 units will be introductory priced and sold directly by Tangerine Racing. These first ten units will be priced later today by Chris Foley, only ten units will be sold at the intro price!
After these first 10 units all future sales will go through the Type 4 Store and we'll more than likely do them in "batches" keeping few of the systems in stock. These batches will be arranged to coincide with Chris' production schedule.
Costs for the units will be outlined by Chris and I later today, in this thread.
Once again, the first 10 systems will be intro priced and sold by Chris directly.

It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.
