I just got a call that my headers are being shipped.

When did you place your order??
Am I the only one still waiting for their headers? I got in at the end of the group buy; paid my deposit on May 1st. I've tried to text and email Erica numerous times and haven't heard squat back. Sad part is I've been through two explorers/mountaineers since I ordered these...sold the Ex they were originally for, picked up a Merc to build but changed my mind on that one and it will probably be sold this week, and I still don't have the headers. This is pretty sad...I at least deserve a response when I contact them, even if they were feeding me a line of bs.
Well if you end up not needing them. I could try an buy your set. As long as they will work on a 2000 motor.
Well after a long wait, my header arrived yesterday and now I have a new problem. They do not fit the trick flow heads that I have.
Everybody here has probably heard about Torque Monster headers for '97-'01 5.0 Explorers and Mounties. If you own one of these trucks you know that Ford totally dropped the ball with their own super restrictive OEM design. The Torque Monsters really wake up the 5.0. Great torque, better acceleration, better sound and better MPGs...plus they look awesome. The only problem, they're not cheap.
-For earlier model trucks '96-'97 1/2 (build date until 12/96) with internal EGR systems, the current price is $689.00 + $45.00 s/h.
-For '97 1/2-2001 (from build date 01/97 on) with external EGR, the current price is $789.00 + $45.00 s/h.
BUT I've been in contact with Al's Headers, the company that produces the Torque Monsters, and Al has agreed to give us a better deal if we were to place a GROUP ORDER. The amount of the discount will depend on the number of members who are interested. Once I have an idea of a number, I will be able to give you an amount.
I am thinking that for the next month we take names, determine who's serious, and then place an order at the beginning of February. Then we'll give Al the time to produce the headers, and come spring we're ready to install.
So, if you're interested in getting on the list for a set of Torque Monsters and saving a few bucks, let me know. Also include whether your truck is a pre 01/97 build date or later. Feel free to PM me also.
*If you're interested please PM me your first and last name, phone number, email address and the build date of your truck. If it's after '97 just the year will do. And by giving me your info doesn't mean that you're commited, but I do need it.
