Nothing against RARE or Paul, but I wouldn't hold your breath on that late August claim. When I ordered mine in early April, he said they'd be shipped at the end of the month, then it was late May, then late June, then late July, then late August... You get the picture. He will just tell you that he's expecting a shipment in the next 4-5 weeks to keep you waiting, but it's a perpetually moving target. Again, this is nothing against RARE. They just can't get their hands on the parts. This is despite the fact that their website says that everything is in stock... It's not.
There are other aftermarket HO exhaust manifolds on the market, but they are not as good as the RARE units. There' not bad, though. Hopefully you have better luck with your RARE order, but based on my experience I'd say there's less than a 5% chance that it will be shipped by late August.
