That sounds pretty cool. Definitely shoot us some pics when you get the piping in, I bet others would love to see it too.Once all the exhaust piping is done, I’m gonna pull it off, ceramic coat them, bake them, wrap them with DEI’s “Titanium Header Wrap.”
I have everything ready to go, will be starting this project April 6th - 8th.
Yessir! My buddies next door at the hot rod shop (I work in a body shop, they’re sister companies along with a mechanical shop next door as well) are gonna fab up a shroud/plate out of aluminum where it’ll exit on the exhaust.Cool idea.
The exhaust exit temperatures would be a concern on the bodywork and paint.
Since the exhaust has little distance to cool as it travels have you considered a post exit plate with high-heat protection?
Something like these?
I’ll start posting pictures and what not once the headers and intake are installed and with the tune uploaded. I’ll post a video of open headers as well, cause I gotta move it next door to the hot rod shop once the headers are in.Subbed to see and hear this once you're done.
I was wondering which aftermarket headers were closest to stock headers.Bought a pair of BBK Shorty “Tuned Length” Headers in the chrome platting and then ceramic coated and baked it myself with VHT header paint in a matte aluminum finish. Once they were done drying for a day, I baked them and then wrapped them in DEI’s “Titanium Header Wrap.” I wanted and needed to keep the stock location of where the collector ends and as close to the engine bay as possible to route the exhaust up into the fenders. These were my only option.
