TH, if you mean Terry Houston, is no longer making downpipes, and hasn't been for some time. I believe Red Armstrong of Quad Air has a dimensionally identical twin of the THDP being made, and I think that Brian Weaver of GBodyParts might be coming out soon with their own version of the no longer existing ATR downpipe. Red Armstrong does biz by telephone only, no E-mail or computer service, and Brian Weaver of GBodyParts is an advertiser and supporter on this site.

You are totally wrong or misformed
Terry Houston known as Houston Performance Pipes (HPP) exists
Terry is in prison, but his family has kept the business alive making THDP's using the orginal Jigs & quality Mandrel Bent Stainless Steel, They have a perfect fit & use a internal wastegate
I have sold a few of the Awesome Quality Pipes recently, just check the FeedBack Section
email me if a 3" or 3.5" is desired

3" ss down pipes
We have 60 polished units in stock as of today. Only delay we are facing is finishing up the test pipes.2 weeks max I'm told.Dump pipes will be 2 weeks after that.
We have them test fitted on an 86 GN with a PT-70 to an 84 T with 144K with an 87 all original drive trane conversion.Fit like a glove. Just wanted to cover our bases & make sure there were no fitment problems from a wide variety of Buicks.
My webmaster should have pics & clearance measurements up today or at the latest this weekend. We did extend the elbow longer then ATR & straightened out a few of the bends.Point A to B is the same as the ATR Downpipe. Better descriptions & pics will be on the site.

So you are making an internal or external setup? Right now, I have a Mease DP and the puck got jacked up somehow. It doesnt seal for crap. Now is there a way to replace the puck assembly? Maybe to a larger one? I really wouldnt want to stick this in the recycle bin just for a part that is a bit bigger than a quarter.

I have heard that is no longer the case, that his family is no longer making THDP's, so maybe his family is selling undelivered THDP's. And I know where Terry houston is, and why he's there, and I don't think that it does any good to elobrate and drag his & his family's name through the mud over what happened. It is unfortunate for the Buick community regardless. He made top-notch stuff. And I have heard that Red Armstrong is using the same tinsmith for his downpipes.

What length Cat do you have? 3" I'm assuming as well.
With 70 cars here under roof & different cats I'm at this point convinced there were 5 different after market lengths used over the years. I'm thinking we will have to supply a cat that will match our length. Nice part is on our down pipe we built it so 3" + can be removed to shorten up the length of the down pipe.

I actually have a few 2 piece Mease pipes here from when he stuck Me & Jim Accardi on a few bad units. I do have complete puck assemblies that I can sell you.
I guess that answered your first question???

I do NOT have a new cat. I need the down pipe AND a cat
Andy that is what I'm doing tonight getting an exact length Hi-flow cat that will be reasonably priced. We have an account with A-tech.I'm Going through their site now finding a hi-quality correct length cat. Test pipe & dump pipes aren't a problem.They are being built. Test pipes will arrive first.Once I find out what length 3" hi flow cats will work I'll post.Hopefully that will save you guys some $ if it is already on your car.

My statement said that I had heard, not that it was a fact.
Just because there are still TH down pipes for sale and they are still available does not mean that they are still being manufactured. And the quantity of people that have received his downpipes only means that at one time a lot of pipes were made. Does not offer any verification that they still are being manufactured. When is the last that you have talked to his family as to whether they are still making the pipes, or whether they are having the pipes made by somebody else with the original tooling and reselling them.
