    Hey man, :)

    If you like the improvement with the spacer, you'd really like the header, because it lowers the torque peak more than two and a half times as much as the spacer does if you keep the rest of your exhaust stock.:thumbsup:

    I looked at my resonator when I was debating the spacer and thought I would make some small brackets to bolt it onto. Little metal strips with two holes to line up to the new position doesn't look hard to make.

    Just a heads up... another small production run of tooter II.VII's are now in stock and ready to ship. :)

    secondbatch27_zps53db75e1_0387177398504efe80b4df5590f97bcdfa3c7399.jpg

    There's a thread in the 2nd Generation Marketplace with all the details.

    Yeah, the thread grew into a monster so it's easy for info to get buried. :eek:

    I got the idea to make one from the 4.0 intake manifold spacer that's being sold on this forum. It could only be one half inch thick because of hood clearance issues. But our little 2.7's enjoy a distinct advantage of an intake manifold on the side rather than on top. So I had a prototype made up that's the equivalent of FOUR of the 4.0 spacers stacked on each other. That's the absolute maximum thickness without creating major clearance issues with the engine peripherals. It produced good dyno test results, and worked great on my own truck so I had more made. :)

    The spacer kits are $255 including domestic shipping.

    Just got my Tooter Spacer in the mail today.

    The pictures dont give it any justice..this is a beautiful piece of craftsmanship!

    Well done Greg!

    ...But you realize we'll expect this sort of quality from any other projects you do from now on, right?

    Thanks for the kind words, man... :)
    Bill, the CNC engineer gets all the credit for both the design and its execution. He is meticulous with details and holds himself to high standards of production. Every idea I can think up, he can make to the same high quality. :thumbsup:

    And any installation questions that might come up, please don't hesitate to ask, and I'll be happy to help. New products are always uncharted waters.

    Just a heads up... :)

    There are only three spacers available from the latest production run of six. And there won't be any more made because there isn't much demand for them any more.

    So if you want one, now's the time to get one...

    Right now that's the end of this tooter project and I'll move on to something else. :)

    But when the last spacer is gone, I'll start a "feeler" thread and if enough people are interested I'll make some more... and if there isn't enough interest to support a production run, that's the end of them. Production is completely driven by demand, and I have absolutely no control over that. I can only make them available as long as there are enough people who want them. ;)

    My plan is simple: :thumbsup: "Do not make what will not sell."

    So I understand your response... that's because tooter is not actually a business. Creating tooter products is just a hobby I do in my spare time for the fun of it. My real business is what makes the real money so I can play around. ;)
