Nope, they aren't only on Ebay.

TWorline over on www.1stgen.org makes them. PM him about them and you will get all the information you need.

He may be signed up over here to, but I don't think he is here often.

Heres some pics of mine, and they do clear the p-pump, if you ever plan on doing that swap. I don't mean to offend anyone, but I was somewhat disappointed in the finish on the tubes, especially the one that goes into the head. They aren't as polished as the ones from the previous pic, and they have large stretch marks from the bender. Also, they are advertised as being fully tig welded, there is only one tig weld and the weld where the plate for the grid heater meets the tube is a bubble gum wire feed welded. Other than that, they perform flawlessly, and they fit perfect. They lowered my EGT's about 200 degrees. From a performance standpoint, I love them, and Ill admit that they do look a lot purdier than the stock pieces.

I think I paid close to $300 after shipping and everything. Could be wrong, it was a while ago.

DodgeMonkey: Your engine bay looks great! You are correct there is only one joint TIG welded on the CoolerTubz the flanges started out being TIG welded but my welder was having trouble with it so he started stick welding them together which can be a bear joining 16ga. to 3/8" not to mention 2 different grades of stainless. I cannot remember how long ago it was that you purchased them from me but my buffing process has been expanded to 8 steps and I am seeing better results from it. Thank you for pointing these things out as I am continuing to perfect my processes and I will change the wording in my ads.

Tworline, thank you for taking the time to address a customer. That means alot. And by the way, your engine bay is immaculate. Mine looks much worse in person, what with all the dried muddy water and flaking engine paint. The only thing shiney is the valve covers and your coolertubez lol.
