Well, I really meant to get these posted to Ronin's web store last night.  Ended up spending the evening on the FD subframe updates and didn't get there. 

The good news on the header front is that we're finishing up welding on the first 15 sets  :cheers:  and should have them available to ship by end of next week...  I suspect they'll hit our website for purchase sometime this weekend.

Wrote most of the listing but finish welding (collectors and such) went down after the work session so I'm looking for a few more pics from a cohort. 

We also had a death of a pet chicken at my house today and traumatized daughters needed daddy time.  Country living is weird.

Anyone got suggestions on a relate-able but funny coupon code 10 characters or less?...   "WrthDaWait"?  "GotHead-er"? 

I'm assuming we should source MLS gaskets as an option for y'all...  I looked at them a while back.

Don't like v-bands? I may do the same if ground clearance is an issue.

Ground clearance shouldn't be an issue, but to each their own.  If you want to put a special request not to weld the flanges on your order (and assuming we're still building a batch), we don't have to weld them on.  The downside is that we're going straight from the trumpet to the flange so you'll need to add your own straight section for a slip to work.

We've been working on the full first batch but the 1st set of said batch is not quite 100% welded as of this evening.  This is why I don't yet have the pictures I want, which is the only reason I didn't stick this on the website yet.  And for what it's worth the coupon suggests crack me up.  Thanks for the love.

Almost there.

Very excited for these to finally come to market!  I hate my shorty headers can't wait to try the fit on my RX8.

Headers are live!  http://www.roninspeedworks.net/index.php?route=product/product&path=59&product_id=110

We're serious when we say it's the headers we've always wanted ourselves.  Not cheap certainly but the pricing of $1069 is pretty much in line with others (Hinson, JTR, Sikky--albeit a bit nuts for shorties, and Spoolin) but we intend to slay everyone in terms of fit, function, and overall quality.  It's also possible that Mike and I just like numbers that end in 69.  This really was a heck of an effort and we sure hope they've been worth the wait. 

Coupon code "GIMMEHEADR" (with thanks to Exidous) gets the first 10 customers $70 off--free shipping.  If you want 'em internationally, drop a line to roninspeedworks@gmail.com and we'll get you a quote less the same $70 if you jump early.  We should start shipping in about a week.






Thanks for trusting Ronin...  Kinda wild we've been doing this 10 years now.

Those look REALLY NICE!!!   :bacon:
If it weren't for having to remake the gorgeous stainless X-pipe the previous owner had built, I'd be tempted to replace my JTR's with a set of these.
