Well like it says, I finally got a header....... Its off at the machinist's as we speak getting the shot peen treatment, and then its off to coating tomorrow. Ill try to take a pic of after the shot peen process.
Its 1.5" ID primaries, 2.1" collector, equal length, stainless. Its got two O2 sensor ports and even a pyrometer port! And it accepts the stock manifold heat sheild.



And to those of you who remember my old sig/motto.....this isnt aftermarket....its GM made. Suck it.

Fresh peened

I am thinking about the Mandrel Exhaust company stuff
Yup, just a lil ole L61
You dont, its a prototype for a GMRacing part that never made it past development

They have stainless now and also offer resonators.

TRUST ME MAN>.. get a nice piece that exhaust is pooorllyyyy made... 2 of the hangers were off by over 4 inches... and the over the axel bend was terrible... it radddllleed soo much on the gas tank heat shield

trust me... get a used exhaust if you dont want to spent the money or get a custom one made.. the money i paid for that PLUS the money to fix it and i coulda goten a whole custom one made muffler and resonator

Trust me I am almost always pretty careful when it comes to buying stuff.....I am in the process of trying to aquire an SS/TC exhaust, this would be a last resort. And if it doesnt fit, Ill shove it up their tailpipe.

ToyBoxCar

Maybe yours was bad, but I have seen other people say it fit great, and it that it was a very good exhaust.

okay well maybe youll see when you go to install it

i want to do that so i can convert my DP to catback flange to 3 bolt... its more efficiant and less prone to leakage..

Maven

iTrader: (1)

Yeah like I said, this exhaust is like a lst resort if i cant get a hold of a TC exhaust, Ive got the header, an LSJ downpipe(new) and now need only the catbck to finish it out.....I,d like the TC so I keep my "GMticity" and also so I can afford to get some LS2Edit going on

Okay, Ive got a stock TC caback now, LOL.

glen229

iTrader: (4)

sell me the flange?

Maven

iTrader: (1)

If I sell you the flange htf am I gonna attach it?

glen229

iTrader: (4)

dont you want to use the 2 bolt from the LSJ dp tho? its a 3 bolt the catback

i figured ud hack off the 3 bolt and send it my way

Maven

iTrader: (1)

Oh, is that what you figured

We'll see, I was planning on putting a 3 bolt on the DP since that easier than putting a 2 bolt on the catback.....I'll let you know.

You know you can buy 3 bolt flanges, right?

glen229

iTrader: (4)

yeah but i figured why not ask

What coating are you going to get?

I had never heard of exhaust pyrometer. What kind of temperatures are you expecting?

Maven

iTrader: (1)

Probably just gonna bake on a few coats of VHT, my powdercoater is on vacation for a month....so that sucks.
Normal ones, LOL. No kjust kidding, I am probably not gonna run an EGT sensor. Maybe sometime in the future if I go with cams, hicomp pistons, then Ill get one to aid in tuning/monitoring, but not now with stock internals, a wideband street tune will be plenty.
