All this crying about price and this being a waste of time over buying other shorty's DESIGNED specifically for a 370z is a joke.
Lets play devils advocate and use a Stillen set up as an example. Their headers are $695 w/ t304 stainless steel. Z1 is offering their Momentum clone headers at $895 and for $1033 you get test pipes as well. Add 370z test pipes ($269) to the Stillen headers and you are at $964. You are telling me you would rather save $69 to make less power? If you are going through the effort of installing headers on a 370z you might as well do it right as it is very labor intensive. I could see if you already have 370z HFC or TP being somewhat disappointed as you will have to sell your current hardware.. but I am sure they will sell fast on the forums here for a large percentage of what you paid. Lets not forget barring a few sets that were dumped when momentum was firesaling inventory they sold these headers for $1,299. I think you guys should be happy z1 has managed to secure the jig, do R&D, and release this setup for an affordable price. And if you still have stock cats the additional $69 dollars price difference over a very nice set of headers from stillen (that make less power) is a steal. We all know you can throw money at these cars to make NA power but $69 is an oil change for these cars. *all prices taken from z1 website.

Also as stated they are going to come out with a different flange so it is not a big deal, as stated by John "Be patient as we will have the 370Z flange soon".

The whole why remove something that is already there or bought comment is easily answered. Because Racecar. When people switch to FI setups they have to replace some bolt ons they have already installed to accomplish those goals. If you want to wait for the 370z style flange then more power to you. Others who want to take advantage of the best bolt on power increases we have seen for this platform will want to go with the current setup now. I am assuming Z1 will not be able to keep the price as low on the 370z flange style headers due to additional R&D / increase in production costs for a separate inventory item. It will be interesting to see what they go for and if it is cost effective in the end vs using VQ35DE parts. As far as the KA24DE parts you can't find anyone who wants to turbocharge their stock motor in a 240sx? I thought that was the FOTY for 240 guys?
