I think you are doing a great job on your exhaust system and I appreciate your "go for it" attitude. Can't wait to see them!
Cheers,

ttt123,
Those look great, buddy. Good job! Have you made headers before? I like your technique.
Cheers,
John

I have not. I have made my own exhaust but this was my first attempt at headers. I need to clean up the welds a bit and get them coated . More picks in a few days.
John 4,9 you should see the project im making these for.. quite the ride. Its not a fiero so dont want to upset the forum with non fiero cars. But this seems to be the place to go for 3.8 info and help. Lots of knowledge here.[This message has been edited by ttt123 (edited 10-27-2019).]

What is your procedure to keep the V-bands undistorted?
I found that if I didn't clamp them onto a mating part during welding, I had to sand them flat afterwards.

Tack weld around the circumference like a clock/pie till its all secured. This was my first attempt at headers but the exhaust i made last year for my 911 did ok. Ill post up the results of this one so people can see the warp or no warp for there own knowledge when finished.

Those headers look nice. I'd like to see (and hear) the engine running with them installed.

it's going to be a while as I'm doing the swap now but I will update this thread with a link to video so you guys can hear it. I still have to make the rest of the exhaust as well and I'll put those pics up hopefully within the next week or two.
Those headers are very short so combined with the X-pipe and the dynomax shorties.. I'm really.. really excited to hear this system. From what I've read.. this should bring up the pitch and its going to be LOUD lol I love loud. lolol
