My Long Tube header build - Toyota Yaris Forums

xnamerxx · 11-21-2012, 01:25 AM

I'm a bit fortunate to have access to shop equipment but I've been cutting everything with a band saw, grinder, or belt sander.

So in order to get the clean cuts after I make the initial cut I deburr the edge of the tube both inside and out and it makes that nice clean lines, makes it way easier to weld as well apparently too. I can't take all the credit though, I'm getting lots of help from the welder on how to properly work with tubing.

I'm amazing on how much work it is to make these pipes, its been quite fun, but quite a bit of work. I wish I took some more pictures after I got the collector on but it was getting late and I needed to home. Hopefully I'll get the other 2 pipes welded up tomorrow and a initial test fit to see if everything's kosher.

Something I thought was a bit funny but my primaries right now on my tri-y header are longer than the primaries on the stock header and I still have about 2 feet of secondaries to add.
