Terry Houston downpipes

[Turbo6Smackdown]

If terry houston started making downpipes again (hypothetically), what do you think they should go for? Would a price in the mid to low 600's be acceptable?

 

[GNBRETT]

In todays market? $500 would be more appropriate imo.

I'm somewhat surprised someone hasn't reverse engineered a TH DP and started prodicing them again.

Is the THDP different and better than the units made by the current suppliers? If so, how?

 

[johnplogii]

If what I've heard about why he went to prison is true, I wouldn't give him $5 for one Is he out?

 

[SS_Sean]

I don't care whether it's a 'Terry Houston' or any other manufacturer. We've got some good pipes out there at somewhat reasonable prices. He can jump in line with the rest and maybe LOWER the price, but I certainly am not paying $600 just because it says his name on it.

There is no performance difference between the TH, old ATR, TA, SE turbo, etc. TH was the original. The design was copied alot. There is no reason for a TH to be worth anymore money than any other TH style DP.

I'm surprised that a Chinese copy hasn't been made.

TH is said to be the one guaranteed to fit. I don't know if it's "better" or not.

i dont know about any others having issues but my true TH pipe fit PERFECTLY! im sure the ones sold by the vendors have same fitment as mine.

it's the fitment issue, not the performance issue...

 

[grocerygetter]

IMO for over $500 I'd build it myself.

[FASTGREEK]

is this the same TH or is it another person^^^^^^

From the thread I picked it up from, guys that have met him said it REALLY looks like him, same area and all.

 

[johnplogii]

It fits, I had read somewhere that he was a child molester. If this is not true someone PLEASE speak up, I certainly don't want to spread something like this if its not. If it is true they never should have released him! Thus why I said I wouldn't but a pipe from him for $5. I have one on my car but bought it way before all this went down. Seems like he was in trouble before 2003 though?

Don't quote me on this, but I think it was more of a 15-17 year old type thing, not little kiddies....not that that's a good thing but you know what I mean.

Terry houston didn't physically build his pipes. He was just the owner of a little company. Though nonetheless, that doesn't excuse what he did. If it's any consolation, if you bought one of his pipes, you were buying it from the shop he had it made at. He just got a little profit from the deal, that's all.
