If that company only would make their headers in a bigger size and with a free flowing muffler.

Good to see the new shifter is getting a bit of thought provoking going! As Larry said Prowagen Per4mance are stocking Vintage Speed items now! We are really proud to be offering these products as they are extremly high quality and not what you would normally expect from Taiwanese parts! Ming-Tang Lee has a real thorough quality checking and testing program and all items are made in his company, he performs all the TIG welding, no farming out to cheap factories!
Also he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met in the scene, come say Hi to him at our trade stands in 2009.

Cheers,
Rob.

And how would you describe the quality? M.T. Lee told me he have a 1 3/4" version as well and that would be interesting, especially with a high flowing, twin tip muffler.

The quality is fantastic, the welding is second to none, it will take a little while for bigger bore systems to be available as it takes 16 hours of welding per exhaust! And Ming-Tang is a perfectionist, he wil not release it for general sale until it is right!

If you want to talk more feel free to PM or mail me, as we will end up wondering off topic Smiley

Rob.

Nice looking muffler, but does it come plain SS, not polished?

I like the shifters mechanical design, to bad it looks a bit too much "ricer" in my eyes.

  Keep in mind, some people out there actually like the look of the Empi Eliminator shifter... Shocked
Yeah, they look great in a Chevelle or Hemi Cuda.
Mmmmm, Hemi Cuda. NOW you're talking... Cool

But I still like the shifter....

Jim most things are possible as he makes it all, so we have had some custom stuff made in the past, including a nice exhaust system for a customers 66 split screen van.

I will see what I can find out regarding Raw SS muffler.

Rob.

Hello Jim,
Raw muffler and/or header not a problems, header is sand blasted as standard as this lowers the temprature dramatically.

If you need any more info or have any other questions on products please PM or mail us.

Cheers,
Rob.

Don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining.

I just hate, hate, hate the "billet look". Billet has it's place (crankshafts, ect) but not with shifters, hood hinges, and the like.
