• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

header interest important!!



The "hump" sticks down a fair amount. The one set I put on, the guy later took it to an exhaust shop and had them remove the hump. As for the interlock, the local I helped only had that part there for a week. It was removed when the hump was taken out. It sealed for a week, at least...:)

Logan, I'm glad to see that you're going through with this. I'll be excited to see the outcome.
 
well Im intrested And will have money after jan 15th
im still looking at ssauto but if you get a set in a car and pics and all Im intrested
 


Ok guys heres where we are at. Apparently there is interest so we will go through with this. Im working with a couple of buddys on this as it needs to be financed to get the materials. Ill let you know when i get the stuff, they should be ready by mid january. I have a couple questions for potential buyers:

1. On the downpipe, for clearance issues im thinking of cutting off the 3 bolt flange and welding on a v band clamp its lower profile to ensure it doesnt interfere with the firewall. Thoughts?

2. On the crossover, would you be interested in me adding a v band connection towards the rear so that you can take apart the crossover in case you had to remove the tranny and it would make header install easier. The v band clamps dont leak so that wont be a problem. Thoughts?

IF you make them like this, they will sell.

Don't use cheap materials

Use 304 or 321 SS
interlock flexes
3/8 or 1/2 in SS flange
SS vibrant V-band clamps have a nice male/female lip which ensures perfect sealing






 


^^^^^ i kinda like that design. working on the Y pipe trying to clamp it down and everything while its on the car is kind of a *****. if the back header would not be an install issuie to get it on/in the car then this looks like it would simplify installation. and if it seals up with those clamps, then why not.
 
V-band clamps are definitely the way to go.
The design of the picture above is pretty much perfect! The flex could be placed post-bend in order to allow the pipe to hug the tunnel a bit better...

Can we make the EGR an option? I don't have it, and would prefer not to have to block it off or have it welded shut.
 


Most definitely. Egr can be an option. Basically im buying headers and modding them like the above ones, except that the crossover wont have a flex as it doesnt need one, and the downpipe flex is on the straight part, not the slanted as above. I can remove the egr and weld it shut if you need.
 
The flex in the crossover would allow for a little bit of error in case fitment isn't perfect for some reason, but I can see where it really isn't necessary.
