home made 40r kit mock up.

got the headers done... well almost. still need to put two more flex sections in, put on the other waste gate, and tig it all together. all the clearances look good with 1/4 around every thing. kind of tightly packed but it all fits and should work gate! let me know what you guys think.

you made that yourself?

very cool.

Not to rain on your parade, but just make sure to support those joints. It looks like you're using thin gauged tubing which doesn't take well to the heat our engines put out. Very nice design though.

That setup looks crazy, that'll be very interesting to see how that turns out.

its 16 gage tubing and from all i have looked in to it that is what they all use unless you have a varry shout manafold. it all will be coated and wraped so hopfully heat wont be a problem. will have to wate and see.

yeah thats not too bad. most headers are made from that i guess. I still cant get over the gauge of tubing people use on our cars. I used to weld for a company that made ram horn style manifold for hondas and we used 8-10 gauge SS plumbing tubing. Its some thick stuff man.

Wonder what gauge APS used on their header.

I have been doing some thinking about headers and manifold issue. Last time I checked Inconel is the best material for headers/manifolds. Now we need a group buy on some exotic inconel equal length headers. The material is so awesome that no heatwrapping or thermal coating is needed. The only downside is that the raw material is quite expensive.

A general desciprtion of inconel -->http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inconel
