Default 4" downpipe.....

Ok guys, this is the SS pipe we are making for Brian H. We also are reworking a set of the SS CHina TA Perf. headers. The following are pictures of Brians car and getting set up... in the shop.

Here's some pics of the headers as we began the process of 2 days plus, modifing and making the flanges lines up, welding and porting the port inlets, then replacing the v-band garbage with real v-band kits. We also replaced the 3bolt flange with a 4 bolt T4 flange





the lone port on the end is the one needing the most work, welding up one side and porting the other, elongating the stud holes

Next, we decided to cut open the log across from each exhaust tube, it wasn't pretty and as you can see, we did a bit of port work then weld the plate back in...



here's the 2 ports closest to the crossover flange, cyl # 4,6









here are some pics of cyl #2

Nice attention to detail! The inside of those headers were a mess before the massaging.

Just got done shoveling, and decided to pull up "THE SITE". Dam!!! Thanks for the effort Jack and Brian. Brian, you definitely have "it" kid. Everything looks great, and I can't wait to get it home, so I can finish up on my end before the MotorSports show. Great pics and documentation --- I'm grinnin' from ear to ear!!!
