Nice N*6-speed thread and I'm a fan now, hehe. ------------------

The headers are almost complete. I just need to complete the welds around the collectors and a few other spots, install the O2 bungs and paint them and they'll be finished. I'll have a few more pictures to post in a few days when i get some more time to work on them but here are a couple of previews. The old headers that i made last year were using 1.5" OD tubing and the tubes were quite short and definatly not equal length. The new headers are 1.75" OD and substantially longer. They're not equal length by any means but they're a heck of a lot closer than the old ones. The new set are about 36" +/- 4". I'm going to try filling them with water and comparing volumes to see what the lengths actually are just for curiosity's sake.
Old ones.
New ones.

Those new pipes took quite a bit of work! I am impressed!

Thanks. There is definatly WAY less room to work with when using the 1.75" pipes instead of the 1.5".

Wow! Two other Victoria people in one post. Represent!
BTW really nice work, your welds are AMAZING. If you saw some of my battery + cables + sacrificial screwdriver "GIT R DONE" welds that we use for quick fixes offroad you'd most definitely burst out laughing.

OK, i've got a few more pictures of the headers with some side by side comparison to the old ones.
Total header cost was about $250

About halfway through the 1/2" endmill got a burr right on the tip so it made a couple un asthetically pleaseing lines but thats no big deal.
Here is the spec aluminum flywheel i'm using as a base.
Now i just have to bolt it all together and get the assembly ballanced this weekend and i can install it on the motor. |

holy crap that thick!! hehe
I just weigh'd the aluminum flywheel that I have thats already balanced for a 3800 seriesII and it came in at 11 lbs 9 oz., your's is not bad at all...
