Absolutely zero first hand experience other than back in the day, when JC Whitney was Warshawsky and they were located in Chicago's China Town, they stocked more than a few Triumph items.  I still have the Monza headers and exhaust on my TR6 that I bought from them.  I could get nearly everything for the GT6 except the headers-they always had the MKI in stock but nothing newer.

Reflexively, I checked them first.  I can say that I've had first hand experience w/Triumph Tune on the MKII and III can only say that their headers are crap to the degree that the Monza is jewelry in comparison!!!  I'd keep my money state-side.  This was a not an uncommon item way back then and I would not be surprised if a few of the pipe guys out there still have the jigs to make one up.

Good luck,
Charlie
