Cable Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boy from Oz Posted October 28, 2010 Share Posted October 28, 2010 I now have the left side done. Looks like a completely different approach to 'Cable' who appears to have the collector much further back - that's very much like those on my donor car. That should be better for ground clearance. Mine sit 20mm below the bottom of the bellhousing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kce Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) 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? 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...) Edited November 13, 2010 by kce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boy from Oz Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 (edited) 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.
