Version #2 homebuilt header

[Sapling]

How much strength do you think you lost in the bulk head by cutting out that much?? That is a pretty good sized cut. Header is looking good!!! I went home and looked at mine after seeing your pictures and man mine looks small!!

not worried about strength there a new peice is being welded in tight to pipe when completed. What looks small header down pipe or the hole?

 

[Sapling]

My down pipe and my header look tiny compared to yours!! I am running a divorced 2 inch down pipe and could easily fit a bigger one. With the header you made it looks like it pushes the down pipe almost vertical rather than forward towards the jackshaft. My jackshaft is under the tunnel. I was thinking you could get more room by removing the stock heat sheild under the header that normally covers the jack shaft.

I might have to have Dave craft up some replacements. I don't really want to cut that big of a hole in the cast part of the bulk head........

double down pipe

Hey Sapling have you run against Smail Performance stage 2 Apex?
Would be nice to hear how these 2 sleds compare with bigger intercooler, down pipe and turbo?

No. Smail and I keep missing each other on the hill. I took a look at my down pipe and it is a 2 inch. Does Derrick have the same header/downpipe that I have? I know he is running the 71.

I have bigger issues at the moment that I was going to call you about today. Nothing to do with your parts... I have one head stud #5 that I can't get to torque. I'm hoping it didn't pull out!!
