Yes.

 

Looks great so far dude, if these work out (and have decent ground clearence) do you plan on making anymore to possibly sell? I would love to have long tubes over my shorties, especially since I know I am leaving alot on the table with my cammed 6.0 litre...

The Ol Yute! It's a GTO-Pickup lol. New school El Camino. Party in the front, business in the back.

 

Hahaha ok, I'm done.

 

How come they don't sell these in North America? :D

 

 

 

Those are great looking headers! How difficult were they to build? How much welding experience do you have? Did you use a MIG or a TIG setup? (I'm just wondering how far away from my current level of expertise they are...)

I'm not making any religious statement here but I use this philosophy on my project.

 

The Serenity Prayer:

God, grant me the serenity

To accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And wisdom to know the difference

 

The exhaust is one of those components I would not even attempt. It was all done in a professional shop and there was pretty close to 100 hrs work. It cost me a fair bit but at the end of the day I have just about exactly what I want. The guys doing the work were very experienced but the LSx in the S30 was a real challange. The extractors (headers) can be removed without removing the engine - many other LSx longtube S30s cannot do this - and that took a lot of effort to achieve.

 

My project is a complete rotisserie up build and I have done just about all of it myself BUT I know my limits. I am now about to start on modifying the fibreglass bodywork - it's something new for me BUT in this case I am willing to had a go.

 

To answer your questions.

The Ute was all set to be sold in the US but the GFC put an end to that GM/Holden arrangement. Welding is only a small factor in the building of exhaust. TIG.
