fp280z Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 http://www.typeischeap.com/stahl.html Wrapped up my Stahl header and 3" exhaust project last night. Should get me through Nationals after which I'll pull everything and get the header ceramic coated. I went with a basic Flowmaster Y-pipe this time instead of a true merge collector. Some odds-and-ends from the project: * The collectors ended up sitting horizontal so I had to clearance the tranny tunnel a bit to get them to fit (not sure if this was a build issue or if they're all like this) * I had to cut some extra thick Nissan exhaust washers in half and weld them to the header flange to match the intake thickness * The wideband o2 sensor placement is not ideal but the ideal spot was obscured by the tranny crossmember. Other than that it went surprisingly well, the ports on this header were almost perfect from Stahl and very little port matching was required. That said, I don't think I'll ever do this again without a lift, my back still hurts! Lots more pics on the link at the top. Enjoy! -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fp280z Posted September 21, 2008 Author Share Posted September 21, 2008 Hey! I've seen your car before. Are you in the Thurs/Fri run group at nationals? Yep, I was there. And that huge sucking sound that you heard wasn't an intake or turbo, it was my driving. Then the car broke on my second run on day two. No matter, still a very fun Nationals. -Rick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
