Updated Thunder Header Design
After several experiments and design changes over the last year,
and input from several members of this community, I am really excited to announce that Thunder has completely redesigned their Mazda 3 header. The new header incorporates a hi-flow cat and eliminates the CEL problem. Headers for the 3 don't seem to be big sellers in comparison to other cars, so I'd like to know how many people would consider purchasing one if I ran a Group Buy of some kind. I am still playing around with numbers but the Retail Price will be in the neighborhood of $450.00. I should be able to do @ $425 shipped for a Group Buy. Before I do any of that, though I would want someone to test and review the new design, at a deeply discounted price. For those of you unfamiliar with Thunder, this is a top-notch product with great welds and a lifetime guarantee.

Are/were there any issues w/the solid pipe in place of a traditional flex pipe? like rubbing or anything? I know no one has tried it yet, but any idea how much quieter the header is since it has a hi-flow cat?

I am going to order one within the next two weeks, probably, and have it
shipped separately from my regular order to get it here faster. Anyone that's sent me a PM or posted interest will be considered in the order that they contacted/posted with the special price and what I will expect in return. I would really like to get something going with this version.

Love the design and addition of a high flow cat.

In any case it's technically illegal to remove any OEM emissions equipment, so no-fun Cali wouldn't like this, I'm sure. I've got a reviewer lined up, now I just gotta get it here for him.
