Edelbrock header arrived today! - Focaljet

**Kstrhypes** · 07-12-2002, 09:40 AM

It just came in this morning. I paid $350 through my work. Similar in design to JBA but much much better quality and the runners are noticably longer. It comes with a heat shield as well as some bracketry to relocate some of the fluid lines. It's getting installed next Tuesday. I can't wait!

**Graham** · 07-12-2002, 10:08 AM

send some pitures

**Kstrhypes** · 07-12-2002, 11:43 AM

sorry, don't have any. There are some floating around on a thread somewhere. Do a search!

**TantrumFocusZX3** · 07-12-2002, 11:45 AM

Where do u work? I've seen those headers for $400 plus. Hook a brother up. LOL

**Kstrhypes** · 07-12-2002, 01:03 PM

Wish I could but I can't [img]images/icons/frown.gif[/img] My boss gave me a sweet deal. We (Street Road Accessories) normally retail them for $528 [img]images/icons/shocked.gif[/img] Best I can do for a brother is $465 [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img]

Brick and mortar stores can't compete with the internet when it comes to price (overhead and whatnot) But I can usually have parts next day.

**Hi-Risk** · 07-12-2002, 01:17 PM

Wow, I want to see how this heat shield looks like.

**Kstrhypes** · 07-12-2002, 01:24 PM

The heatshield is made of formed stainless steel and it has the JG Edelbrock logo embossed into it. Since the runners are longer they come up higher (close to the underside of the hood) and I suppose the heatshield is to keep the paint on the hood from getting scorched. Problem is the header is so dang purtty I don't want to cover it with the shield.

Anyone know if this header is C.A.R.B. Legal?
If so, who has them at the lowest price?

I believe it is.

It's a nice piece. I would like to see what it looks like with the heat shield.

As much as I like it I am waiting on the Hedman. The Hedman shorty header will be C.A.R.B. legal too.

You have PM

**Fonzie** · 11-22-2002, 10:16 AM

Yes it is CARB legal, it has a big ass stamp on the header and comes w/ a sticker and CARB legal document for your glovebox!!! You'll love it man, but watch out, it gets hot!!!

P.S. Follow the instructions to a T & you'll be good!!!

**1BadEgg** · 11-22-2002, 10:34 AM

Just received mine yesterday, so I guess you are saying to use the heat shield right? [img]graemlins/thumbup.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

**Fonzie** · 11-22-2002, 10:39 AM

Well, not really. It looks so good I didn't want to cover it up, but I am saying be careful just even after a minute it gets hot!!!

very cool....looks like I found a header I will get. Ollie

**nick** · 11-25-2002, 03:37 PM

Looks nice but where the 2 pipes meet up is kinda nasty lookin. I take it the shield goes over the header?

**Kstrhypes** · 11-25-2002, 04:28 PM

Yeah, the heatshield goes over the header. I didn't install mine and so far no problems. Just to be safe I installed some reflective heat barrier on the underside of my hood.
