Building headers

ptrefry · #1 (**permalink**) 09-20-2006, 12:42 AM

I'm at that stage now when I have to build my headers on my CR.
I have brought a DIY kit for my LS1 from Darren Di Filippo .
And was wondering if there any DO's and DONT's when building them.
And if there is any specific pipe lenght etc.
Thanks Paul

I bought the DiFilippo kit to build mine. Darren's shop is just up the road from me and I talk with him pretty regulaly.

If you are building headers for side pipes you will probably need more 45 degree bends than 90's. I probably used about 10 or 12 45's and 6 or 8 90's to do my headers.

The kit has heaps more bends than you need but just ask Darren to swap a few of the 90's for extra 45's when he ships it out.

Cheers

Mike, I see a little job heading your way. Now don't get distracted. Stay focused on the Cobra project..

When you are finished I have four small jobs for you. But I stay away until you have finished your Cobra. Don't want to distract you..

I have only used 90's to build my headers.

Could this be the beginning of my trouble????????

I'll post some pics of my progress soon.
