[CanadianCommander]

ok guys i have a company here in Edmonton (canada) who agreed to take on the challenge of custom building Commander specific headers (will be using my 4.7L) but i told them that i may have a sort of "cult Following" who may be interested...if i can get them made for a price which is competative to that of JBA, BBK etc. how many of you would pull the trigger?

Ok cool, im still waiting to here back from him wether or not he is up to the challenge

 

[Hummer recovery team]

id do it too!!

 

[idahocopedipper89]

I'm in too. Is there any estimate on the price? hyeah:

Depending on the price, ease of install, and overall benefits I'd be interested too.

So far the info i gave him was that:

- it had to equal OEM bolt up (so we can utalize any off the shelf cat back exhaust),
- marketable at roughly retail cost of other manufacuters (may vary as he hand fabs them)
- he also offers fabrication in stainless, titanium, and raw steel with options for ceramic coating available)

Im hoping he will get back to me on monday and then i can take the snowmander in and get the ball rolling.

I will keep you all informed

He is super busy due to our summer around the corner he has a ton of drag cars and cruisers to do


SMALL UPDATE APRIL 2

Neil got back to me this morning and he will do the headers, now we are in talks about pricing and the availability to you guys

Any news on this yet? My driver side manifold just started to leak very bad today and would be interested!

 

[CanadianCommander]

Well unfortunately i dont believe its going to happen now

he was all for it and told me to bring the XK down to get started...as soon as i showed up and he popped the hood he got cold feet and said he thought it was more than he could chew..

he said he was expecting a TJ!!!!:headbang:

any way he then turned me away and said he had to think about it

 

[Hummer recovery team]

Thats disapointing, its a tight engine bay for sure, now you all need to buy ported and polished throttle bodys

 

[CanadianCommander]

yar there be pirates aboard!!!

JK hrt.. im going to still poke the guy a bit and see if he will cave

 

[Hummer recovery team]

Haha, ya hit him up for sure id love some headers!

Do you guys think that GC SRT-8 headers would fit? The chassis are the same except for being longer.

nope unless you've got a 6.1...best bet would be to buy a set of 06-07' dakota headers and take them to an exhaust shop and have them modded as needed, I did research and found they have the same exact heads as our 4.7's. I would imagine the passenger side would fit perfectly with no issues. The D.S. however my have clearance issues with the steering shaft, more than likely only 1 primary tube would have to be cut and re-welded. When looking at the gibson headers, they made one of the primaries swoop over the steering shaft for the dakotas, they work straight outta the box...when I become rich I want to order a set.
