I'm all for shipping after the holiday. There's nothing worse than receiving something you've been anticipating for awhile only to find that it's been damaged in transit.
Group buy for Doug Thorley PREMIUM VERSION headers, need 20 people!

Kinda disappointed simply because now we’re looking at not getting these for another 2 weeks realistically. If these ship the Monday after Christmas, I’m not getting them until the end of that week - I’m on the opposite coast of DT.
With how much holiday time has come and gone, I’m looking at a longer delay in personal availability to get these installed. I had time during Thanksgiving and I would have had time during Christmas. My January is stacked - I’m already scheduling overtime for myself to meet deadlines. I’m potentially looking at having to have someone else do the install or wait until February to do it myself.
Of course, there’s nothing to be done about it either. I’d obviously rather wait and have the parts be perfect and arrive in perfect condition as well. Just a bit of a womp-womp personally.

What kind of damage are you guys realistically expecting to occur to boxed/packaged stainless steel headers during shipment? They can disappear, sure, but they can any other day of the year. I doubt DT is shipping $900 pipes wrapped in shrink wrap with a label slapped on. They're gonna be reasonably protected and even if they show up with a rub, they are being bolted between a motor and frame rails, soon to get road grime, dirt and some rocks bouncing up going down the road..
I don't have a dog in this fight, but I know my DT midpipes got pushed back another two weeks and I was annoyed as my original date was around Christmas.. so to wait two weeks for some sweet headers, I'd be annoyed.

I'm definitely in no rush to get them. And I do want them perfect when they arrive though. So I say send them when the traffic has slowed down. Great thought Jason!

I got a missed call, and then a text from Jason saying they'll ship this week.

Yes, trying to get them all out this week. I will continue to update this post. They are all shipping from DT direct to customer
And for those curious, had around 30 orders total for these Premium headers...

I've been absent over the holidays from the forum, but do you have any update to the shipping schedule for these? It seems like from previous posts that they should have already gone out but I haven't received any tracking information. I sure would hate to have these sitting on my front porch for any longer than they have to.

I would like to get sent tracking as well, whenever mine ships

LOL, What's the over-under on getting these before Valentine's Day? :yield:

Will send trackings over as I get them. I have a called a few people just as some have ordered a boat load of items on one order, Titanium studs, Gibson Exhaust, High flow cats, cel eliminators, sprint booster, etc to go over how shipments will work for multiple items etc.
It's been insane with the holidays so I can't call everyone but will send trackings as I get them. Anyone here can text me directly, 717-319-2100 but it might take me a bit to reply.
I hope everyone had a great Holiday and I have to say again, you guys are probably the coolest group I've ever dealt with on a group buy like this.
