Danger to Manifold! (courtesy of Dave YO)
So I finally pieced together the parts I needed to replace my old and bruk-up exhaust set up. My old DC ceramic coated header served it's time and with 2 cracks on it needed replacing. My beloved Apexi WS exhaust was the quietest ever but it hung too low (I know the feeling) and got scraped to hell and after 4 winters was finally rusting. Since I'm pretty much done with spending any money on the car, scheduled maintenance is what I told the wife this was. Got a brand new Megan Racing SS header for USD$100 and Vibrant was nice enough to hook me up with an axleback.
So off I went to visit Dave YO in Hamstertown to do the custom piping and install. After driving around for most of the afternoon and spending the whole night doing the fancy work, here are the results!
Here's the exhaust off and next to the lovely 10feet of stainless steel piping:
here's how you ruin a perfectly good header.. cut it in half:
why you ask? to do the H-T.com approved collector mod of course:
bottleneck no more!
mocking it up before final welding:
and the result:
and after one night's driving, it's already starting to change into that lovely shade of west indian brown... lol
thanks for all your work Dave!
