Ed, thats for open wg pipe mode. No sure if backwards will fly when running in that mode but nothing is concrete yet.

Holy reid washbon christ! Nice piece. Damn expensive, but the part delivers visually when it arrives.

3.25" end to end.

That thing is pure sex...definitely worth the price difference over the piece of paper that you were sent the first time

That header is fucking amazing! Can't wait to see what the 07k starts doing

Thanks, wait til its welded. Then also when its coated, ughhhh.

ordered 1" mandrel aluminum bends to make the drain pipe "extension", kinda forgot. oops. also the last 45 deg 2.5 i need to finish the boost pipe to IC. might get some time to work on the axles this weekend. Unfortunately i cant really finish the DP until the header is finished, I don't know how much the header welding is going to move stuff so I have to wait. After the things Ive mentioned its really close. Just DP, see how ill redo the center pipe under the car. Then just the oil pan and VC then ill be just about ready to run some low boost to get it on the road then in a few weeks get rods/pistons. Then MOAR BOOST

Did you convince Ryan to stay yet? ...Or at least bring his welding stuff and your manifold with him on vacation?

Nooooppe

Loving this project, that exhaust manifold is a work of art! Wish you had been around when I was up your way, at least I got to see the 4k but none of the cool stuff going on under the hood.

Yeah, too bad. Sometime soon, I'm sure youll see it . Thanks!

its thursday, is higbee on the torch?

yeah. he'll be on the "bottle" by the end of welding it.
