This is for a 77 TA.
Bare or ceramic coated is fine.

Check with John D Lorean. I've heard he tries to keep some in stock

Nope. I don't think he will be back, either. He burned a bunch more people. I had a pretty good relationship with him, but he burned a good friend of mine and also another guy that I'm friends with over the last couple years.

I spoke with him a few months ago on FB, messaged for about an hour, sharp, articulate and knowledgeable. When I tried to talk to him about an order several weeks ago he is MIA and has't replied to messages since. Not even read them.

Then I got feedback from everyone on here and in the TA FB groups so glad I didn't.

I bought a set from a member here who never used them.

that sucks. he made a nice product but apparently wasnt a very good/honest business man.

i spoke to him a couple years ago also, was very helpful & sent all kinds of pics of the headers installed & what tube size i would need for my power level etc, but when i asked for details on buying them he wanted money up front with no guarantee of delivery timeframe... i passed.

im looking for a set of O-port for a 2nd gen if anyone reading this has a pair for sale. i will post a separate wanted ad too.

I might have good news for you. There's a guy in LV that just posted a bunch of parts on FB marketplace that has a new set of O ports for $800. I was tempted, but I have a set already.
It's a crying shame we can't convice someone else to make these. If you have a lowered T/A and don't want RA manifolds there aren't any good options.

thanks for the heads up, i saw those on the for sale thread... little outta my price range at $800+shipping. the 2" were $595 new & talking with TT he suggested the 1 3/4 for my power level & mostly street use that were $515. i realize buying from TT was a gamble & that they arent being made right now puts a premium on other new sets, i was hoping to find a used set someone doesnt need anymore for a little more reasonable price than new.

im barely scraping by (pun intended) with the big 2" hooker super comps i have now, they only scrape on very big speed bumps or curbs but im able to avoid those for the most part. probably much cheaper & easier to raise the front of the car a bit.

I had the Hookers on mine as well. I think I paid almost $700 for my Tribal Tubes (2") with shipping.
