lol I think thats a record 5 multi-posts. So did he end up invoicing you again or was the $670 for everything?

JB22 · 03-19-2006, 04:47 PM

Yeah... I saw that before the upgrade.

Anyone get theirs yet?

mult68 · 03-19-2006, 05:05 PM

hmm thats weird...didnt notice the multi post. And I have not gotten an invoice for any addition amount. I should be getting them in any day now though.

Count me out on this. I needed a new shotgun for work, so my tax return got gobbled up by that. However I guess I can't b*tch, as I did get something cool out of it instead of paying a bill. Though I still want the headers.

New shotgun for work? Where the heck do you work? I'm in Bako so I'd like to know if I need to duck at any given time

On topic: I had some unexpected expenses at home so I don't think I can get in on this deal. Maybe next time.

KenV · 03-20-2006, 12:32 AM

Double tap. My apologies.

JDubya18 · 03-20-2006, 06:12 PM

ok well I emailed chris and heres what he had to say:

Dear Jason,
The Hooker #2055 is a set of emission legal shorty style headers and Y
pipe. The O2 fittings come with the headers. Your cost for the #2055
headers & Y pipe, coated in&out with the Jet Hot sterling silver finish,
is $655+s&h to the door. This reflects your 3rd gen discount. We can
remove and weld closed the A.I.R. tubes. Add $50 to the price. Please
feel free to call 1-800-432-3379 ext 110 with any question or to place
an order.
Thanks
Chris

Would love to get some nice headers for the bird, would it be better to have sucky heads w/headers or good heads with stock manifolds?? Eventually both will be done, but gotta do one thing at a time.

Sad part is I am serious. I open and close one of the larger gunshops in town and am almost always by myself. I perfer to rock something larger than a handgun. Keys to assualt weapons is a good and bad things certain days. Though I still want the headers. However it is not looking like it will happen.

mult68 · 03-23-2006, 08:18 PM

THEYRE HERE THEYRE HERE!!!!

Unfortunately I have to go to the gfs house so I cant look at them until afterwards....but you know what I'll be thinking of the entire time

JB22 · 03-23-2006, 08:27 PM

polar bears?

JDubya18 · 03-24-2006, 05:46 PM

Im confused on the price, on the first page of this thread it says $647 shipped but the price he gave me was $655+Shipping. Can someone clear this up for me? Im ready to order these.

JB22 · 03-24-2006, 06:21 PM

The quote from chris is $647 shipped. I am going to be ordering mine next week.

mult68 · 03-26-2006, 10:34 PM

Just so everyone knows....briefly looked at the headers (spent the weekend helping my gf move into her new apartment) and they look amazing...the finish is beautiful. i'm tempted to open up the collector holes as is suggested on this site for these headers...but I dont want to ruin the finish or risk them rusting from there (and probably voiding the warranty). Other than that they look great. now i just gotta find time to install them.

JB22 · 03-28-2006, 11:30 AM

I ordered mine today.

Time is running out, remember March 31st is the deadline.

Chris said he had 2-3 more people who looked like they would be purchasing.

If your one of those people, please post up.

Thanks, Jonathan

IROCU2 · 03-28-2006, 12:18 PM

This is great newws for me. I was just trying to figure out how I can get me a pait of headers without paying such a high price. I even looked thru the parts for sale for them. What do I need to do to join in on the group purchase for the hooker 2055 headers? Somehow you guys are right on time with this group purchase.

JB22 · 03-28-2006, 04:37 PM

see the first post in this thread. All you need to do is contact Chris at Jethot directly and mention the 3rdgen.org group purchase price.

Its $647 shipped

JDubya18 · 03-28-2006, 05:52 PM

I called Chris today and got my order in.

JB22 · 03-28-2006, 05:55 PM

Rockin!

Anybody got an opinion on this? At the moment I basically can afford one or the other, or should I just wait till I can get both?

anvrsyz28 · 03-28-2006, 11:56 PM

I will put my order in on Thurs. Good to go.

B Rhodes · 03-29-2006, 09:44 AM

I just stumbled across this post, Ive been wanting these for a while but didnt want to spend $750 (from summit) I should be able to call jet hot today ot tomorrow, thanks for your work

B Rhodes · 03-29-2006, 11:14 AM

Called and put my order in. I was told I should see them in 3 weeks, thanks

My guess is you would probably be better off doing the heads first.

Hard to say though.

JB22 · 03-31-2006, 08:28 PM

Anyone else get in on this?

anvrsyz28 · 04-02-2006, 01:39 AM

Got the order in on Thurs. Now for the Charger...hmmmm

DocHoliday · 04-03-2006, 03:34 AM

Well you can add me to the list as ordered! I ordered them March 31st! Sweet deal, can't wait for them.

DH

mult68 · 04-03-2006, 10:27 AM

Im interested to see how many ended up being ordered through this group purchase.

JB22 · 04-03-2006, 07:05 PM

Well, I have 7 listed and Chris told me 6 ordered.

So, I dunno...

JDubya18 · 04-06-2006, 02:11 PM

Got mine today. Wow these look great. Im gonna have to get some batteries for my camera now. Jet-hot is awesome!

Plus they gave me a big box to play in jk

JB22 · 04-06-2006, 04:00 PM

Mine came on Tuesday, but I missed Fedex... Im going to pick them up today. I'll take pictures tonite.

IROCU2 · 04-06-2006, 08:01 PM

When is the last day you can order the Hooker 2055 or did I miss it? Thanks

JB22 · 04-06-2006, 09:09 PM

March 31

JB22 · 04-10-2006, 07:44 PM

Had a little problem hooking up with Fedex Ground... then I couldnt find the local office to pick them up.... anyway, here they are!!

Was expecting there to be some hooker information / mounting equipment, but other than that, they look awesome.

V6canvas · 04-10-2006, 11:36 PM

Very nice looking. They'd look a lot better w/o those little tubes sticking out the top though

.

anvrsyz28 · 04-11-2006, 12:06 AM

Mine came in today. Anyone notice their coating is a little thin in spots? Otherwise they look great!!!!

JB22 · 04-11-2006, 05:28 PM

anvrsyz28, did you get the accessory pack?

Mine didnt come with anything... I just called jethot and they said it was supposed to be in there, but I didnt see it. They are going to ship it out to me.

Mine doesnt really look thin in any spots, but I did notice what looked like a little bit of rust residue (brownish powder) inside the header at the end of the flange.

It rubbed off though with my fingers... /shrug

anvrsyz28 · 04-11-2006, 11:52 PM

JB22,

yes, I got the gaskets and bolts that I will prob not use. It also came with 2 sets of warranty info and stickers, I prob have yours..lol

The coating is very thin on one of the flanges and there is a 1.5" spot in the open that looks like is was missed completely. I hate to send em back. I will call Chis tomorrow and ask him. Overall though, I am happy and excited to get them on.

JB22 · 04-25-2006, 10:13 PM

Gasket and accessory set came in last week. Chris was pretty timely in making it right.

All in all, the experience with Jet-Hot was really good.
----------
Anyone get theirs installed yet?

My motor wont be done for another week or 2....

Don 79 TA · 05-15-2006, 06:38 AM

i am contacting Chris now to see about a set and asking for the air tubes to be removed too
i am also seeing about a set for my 79 and for one of my jeeps

i also asked about making sure the coating is nicely done

lately i've heard some mixed reviews on their coating work

JDubya18 · 05-15-2006, 04:51 PM

heres some pics of mine installed, excuse the mess lol

Don 79 TA · 05-24-2006, 08:53 PM

well, i got the headers in
OMG
WHAT JUNK!

no Y pipe
welding rods stuck inside the tubes
holes in the tubes they were supposed to have sealed

i mean holes that you can see out of

now i have to call them and get them to take care of this

i was pissed about the Y pipe
and even more pissed about the lousy job

the coating is ok, i'd give it a B+

but man....
you can clearly see the holes in it

JB22 · 05-24-2006, 09:27 PM

Sorry to hear that, mine look great. Should be going in this weekend hopefully.

Don 79 TA · 05-25-2006, 11:05 AM

like i said, i am VERY disappointed
for this pricing, i could have gone with the SLP's
which i now regret not doing

i will see what the outcome is

Extremly poor quality

JB22 · 05-25-2006, 11:19 AM

Did you buy them through our GP? I didnt have your name down.

Anyway, my dealings with Chris at Jethot were excellent. If you were missing the Y-Pipe, that is a huge thing, there is no reason they wouldnt send you another one ASAP. I find it hard to believe they would have even sent them without it...

I cant speak to how they did with the cutting of the air pipes and welding them shut. I know a few other guys here got that done. Anyone else have any issues?

Don 79 TA · 05-25-2006, 01:02 PM

i emailed him from the info that was provided here, and mentioned this site too

he is working on the issue. i for one understand mistakes can be made

he is working with the plant manager to locate the pipe, and said he will get that shipped ASAP. so i appreciate his effort.

he was surprised about the wleding job and wants to see it personally
if i can get a photo of them before they send me the call tag i will

so at least they are trying to rectify it
i just got the bummed end of the deal, a double whammy

i cant wait to get them installed and see how they perform with the E-heads i bought

JB22 · 05-25-2006, 03:33 PM

Yeah, they arent going to screw you. Its just a pain in the *** that it happened. They will make it right.

Don 79 TA · 05-25-2006, 06:45 PM

well supposedly they located a Y pipe and that is to be delivered for Saturday
and Fed Ex is called to pick the package up

he apologized, and i know it's not his fault, he said he addressed it with the plant manager.

that is good that he followed up like that

he wants to personally see how they were done, i said it was extremly poor quality.

SargeantSarkasm · 05-31-2006, 11:10 PM

JB22,

I unofficially joined the group purchase late - about a few days past the last deadline. I'm sorry I never let you know, in part because I was very busy and my internet was down. Anyway, Chris at Jet-Hot extended the offer for me and I made the purchase. All necessary parts were received on time and in very good condition (although the box looked beat up). I looked over the coatings and didn't find any bare spots. The only issue I have come across so far was what sounded like something tiny rolling around inside one of the header manifolds. After shaking it around, it figured it was something caught inside one of the AIR pipes. By plugging the other three pipes and blowing through the fourth, I concluded there was something stuck inside there. Although the flow is heavily reduced, I don't think I will have to worry as the other 7 air pipes should make up for the loss.

Just wanted to announce my experience so that the tally is fair and to pop my posting cherry.

Thank you for the group purchase!
