Cut the tubes off at the flange and start over, it would be less work.

A lot of fab guys hate coming in and trying to piece stuff together from an existing part - they seem to look at it as fixing the previous guys screw up. In the end the labor to piece together cost more than building from scratch.

But I'm the fab guy.

You are making it to easy.

But hey, if you want to build another part with no appreciable gains for the hell of it.

The only way to know is to try, worst case you cut up a relatively inexpensive header and waste a few hours.

That's what life is all about... finding out.

Well last update for a bit...I won't be able to start up on this project until next week as well as I need to get a few flanged cut to mate the 2 sections of pipe to allow installation. Again I wish I would have chosen a 4-1 design soo much easier to work with. I say this because the header path has a kink to the left and a quite narrow path that it needs to fit in.

Wow...

Man, that's absolutely beautiful work.

Are you using a jig, or the car itself for test fitting?

xnamerxx · 11-22-2012, 12:41 PM

No actually, its been mostly done by eye but i needed to make a few changes last night when i was test fitting it.

Still working on that ;) Gotta make sure it actually makes power before I even start to think about making more.

oooo already a prototype. Good work Namer.

Looks strangely similar to a dc header in that pic. :)

Awesome project, can't wait to see the finished product!

xnamerxx · 11-23-2012, 01:58 PM

Yeah i guess it kinda does...although i still need to add secondary pipes top it ;)

It's a smart move to use a similar profile to the DC as it fits into the available space.

xnamerxx · 11-23-2012, 02:19 PM

I didn't borrow from any existing designs, but with the given lengths I need to work with it just happened to follow their design.

Jason@SportsCar · 11-23-2012, 03:07 PM

If you find yourself needing to test fit for clearance, my car is up in the air while I wait for the struts to be serviced.

xnamerxx · 11-23-2012, 03:21 PM

I might just take you up on that offer. Any idea how long the car is going to be down for service?
