Hello Guys, Ive been lurking and watching this thread from time to time and have seen all the questions and concerns and tried to address them all during the build. Its been nice working with David and Jossie on the project. You all have a great member to take it upon himself to put together something like this and help the entire community not to mention a member that gave up 6 months of what could have been drive time, to donate his car. I cannot apologize enough for the amount of time this has taken. I know it was ALOT longer then anticipated, but as David had mentioned we are a small shop that doesn't get into much production runs like we did for this application and some of the delays were out of my hands.
Most of you should have your headers by now with the exception of a few which should be leaving shortly (due to coatings). As some of you have noticed the headers are a squeeze and very tight in some areas but rest assured they DO fit LOL just stick to the instructions. I now know why all the others have failed and have not came through with the past promises!!!
I will go ahead and address the questions about the cylinder #2 primary tube. This tube WAS purposely welded on the outside of the runner only due to the fitment of the way the tube met the flange. If you look at the tube closely you will notice that the cut was not made square to the tangent of the bend and therefor did not allow the tube to slide into the flange like the rest of the tubes. There is no need to have this welded on the inside also, and if this is done it could cause premature failure due to thermal expansion. The same reason the outside of the rest of the tubes are only welded for a short area on the outside while the inside is welded 100%.
If you have any more questions please feel free to ask, and I will check back shortly. I am still working on a resolution to the gaskets and if this falls through i will just issue a credit back to the buyers.
Cheers
Blake Hughes
