Default AC compatible LS1 tubular headers with merge collector- OFI style

built these for my car instead this week, thought i'd share, figured i should have me some merge collectors for an added kick. Will be sending these out to get ceramic coated for some more bling =) if you're wondering I built these myself .

I wish I could weld like that. I've never tried using a TIG, but my MIG is horrible.

Looking pretty good, I am thinking about fabbing up a twin kit for my car. As for the welder I have a syncrowave 200 and I love it. I am building a cat back for a 2000 Trans AM right now.

thanks . i wish it came out cleaner but i decided to do a split turbine housing design with actual split housings to help increase spool time. due to the cones used it limited a lot of what i could do to make it look clean. but at least its functional.
