My Long Tube header build - Toyota Yaris Forums

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.

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.

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

I would guess at least another week. But it is not getting raced again until Jan, so it would not be a big deal even after I get the suspension back in.

I know. It's the available space that defines the shape, so all the headers are constrained to follow the same basic conforming profile.

When you get it done, post a video of how the engine sounds with the open header. I bet it'll sound awesome!

I've got an ideal length to work with so in order to hit that ideal length while staying within the constrains of the chassis. My bends aren't quite as smooth as the DC since I've got to hit certain lengths so my bends snake a little bit which you don't quite see in the pictures.
I just decided to have the primaries terminate in about the same location as the stock header. The secondary is going to have some of that snaking as well just so I can get a few extra inches of tube length.

I'll make sure to give you a video after everything is said and done :)

Test fit. Looks good so far.
