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

 

how much did that run you? should sound good with that exhaust your ordering

 

looks good man, gonna coat it hot pink? i would

 

They didnt have pink or my signature color of purple.....I was pissed. black. You wont be able to see it under the heat sheild anyway

 

i can coat pink! up to 1500 degress baby.. gonna do my buddies for him

so where do i get one?

 

what exhaust did he order?

 

Nice, for a 2.2, right?

 

i think hes ordering the mandrel exhaust with a magnaflow muffler...

 

They didnt have pink or my signature color of purple.....I was pissed. black. You wont be able to see it under the heat sheild anyway

 

ugh id steer away from that... its a "cheap" peice i had it

 

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.

 

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..

 

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.

 

sell me the flange?

 

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

 

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

 

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?

 

yeah but i figured why not ask

 

New pic. fresh from shot peening.

 

What coating are you going to get?

 

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

 

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.
