Nope it came out very nice on the inside. It's okay I don't need them anymore.

1foxbody

I would do a true dual setup like this but it will cost more. I rather just do a single 3 inch mid pipe it will be easier and be plenty enough for me.

i would do duals if you're already there

HATS OFFF to whoever welded that flange on to the header. LIKE DAMN son that's a 10 outta 10 u can tell him that!!!!!

Damn i can't wait to see final result!!! nice work

1foxbody

I would but it will cost a few hundred more in parts and more labor. My new setup will be plenty enough for my goals. There's only a couple more little things I want to do performance wise then I'm finished.

That would be my boy Shawn Ramey he owns a local shop called rameybuilt.com check out some of his work!

Me either I will keep posting pictures in my build thread. I would guess it's going to take at least a week to get the headers ceramic coated. Thank you!

now you make me want to redesign mine since i'm doing 3" catback it would be nice to have 3" jpipe too

1foxbody

Do it!!! I'm pretty much on hold until I get the headers back from the coaters. Once I have those will have to figure out all the materials and wait for those to come in also. So mine won't be finished for a little while.

fsttyms1

Yep, exactly like they are doing there!

any updates? pics? dyno?

1foxbody

The headers are still getting ceramic coated. No dyno pull yet I'm waiting for a night when it's cool. It's supposed to be 61 degrees tomorrow night and Friday night so I'll probably do it then.

1foxbody

I picked the headers up today from getting ceramic coated, they turned out great! These cell phone pictures don't do justice. Enjoy!

Beautiful!!

I'm Love it .. Would it stay the same after installation or lose color

StreetKA

iTrader: (8)

It will tone it down a bit but they will stay nice.

1foxbody

Like streetka said they will pretty much stay the same. The main thing is to not have any oil on them once they get hot.

great job. looking forward to the numbers.

Thanks I am too lol.

so why can any one update them and sell them id pay 1200 for more hp than comptecs?

rush

iTrader: (1)

Any updates or dyno # ?

1foxbody

Nothing yet. We haven't even ordered the materials to finish the exhaust. He has some cars in the shop they need to finish first before we can figure out what mine needs. I'm thinking about doing the timing belt service since it's over 7 years.

You should. While your at it you might as well add an underdrive pulley

1foxbody

Yeah it's just a bitch to do since it's a tight area to work in. I already have a complete unorthodox pulley set installed check it out in my build thread.

That bend for the rear cylinder bank is way too sharp.

1foxbody

Were going to do a completely different design compared to yours rush and the stock j pipe.

There both going to come down and merge further back with a ss collector. Here's a link for reference.

That was just too test my welding skills I'm using this y pipe instead

I was looking at a bunch of pictures of they're work. They look like nice quality.

Sonnick

Nice idea. Why didn't you just start from scratch though?

A nice set of headers with much longer primaries (than Comptech) and a real merge collector would do very well, especially when coupled with a 3in exhaust. What are your plans for the collector?

rush

Like this this http://i1119.photobucket.com/albums/...h/7d82462e.jpg

Thats $1400

1foxbody

I got a very good deal on a set of used comtech headers and j pipe so I couldn't pass that up. When we had the car on the lift theirs really not much room to work with to build a completely new set of long tube headers. I didn't even want to deal with making a completely new set since all I have is bolt on's and I'm not looking to making every little hp. We just decided to modify the comptechs since it will be easier. A few posts back I posted a link to which style merge collector were going use or maybe even a custom one.

the bend is too tight at the merge. consistent radius is key for optimal flow

civicdrivr

iTrader: (9)

I said it above too.

rush

iTrader: (1)

I Know thatbut look @ the inlet Size

fsttyms1

that doesnt matter if the radius is too tight and restrictive.

Jacobpockros

iTrader: (1)

underdrive will yield more gains over stock size.

Don't forget I have a cutout

1foxbody

I know but not by much. I have they're new version so there's a lot of holes in it for less weight. I'll just stick with what I have.
