Has anybody ran something like these? Price seems too good to be true.

Nice looking from the outside...Wonder what the area inside the collector looks like??
No mention of the ss grade, nor the gauge.

If you do a search, I think someone modified them to fit with factory accessories. Not sure of quality, but can't beat the price.

Retardo huge collectors and runners. Better off with oem manifolds unless u plan on making 2000hp+.

one of the Ho Chi Min suppliers about those exact specs...
Never got a reply. Guess they "no speakie Engrish".

I have a build going right now using these headers. They had to be modified but they are looking beautiful. Quality was great. Here's the link.

Here is the modification to those headers to make them fit.

The question i have is

A: how long are they?
B: how wide are they From mounting face of the head to the widest point?

For my particular application size is the biggest concern and it seems impossible to get any questions awnsered from the supplier

On the length part, I know they are different sizes when mounted to the head bacause one is closer to the front than the other due to exhaust port spacing. I will dig to see if I have some pics with a tape measure. Also I have an email somewhere when the seller contacted me. I will hunt it down and post back shortly

That would be awesome man. Obviously you cut them down which made them less "wide" but im defiantly curious as to original specs. The nice thing about them is that it looks like you can hack off 3-4" of total length and re weld the vbands closer to the merge..

"Hello,
Flange is 1cm.
pipe thickness is 1mm.
Thanks
Beasy"

That's all the info I got from him, but if I remember correctly, it was 5" on one side and 6.5" on the other side and thats how long past the head. Width I believe was 5" from the head to the top outside of the header. Keep in mind I ordered 1 7/8" primary headers with a 3" collector. Its now been reduced to a 2.5" collector

I appreciate that.. These might actually fit my setup with a little bit of modification.

1mm is like 19 gauge... Thats pretty thin for a turbo application.

sschoeffler

iTrader: (24)

Yes, I seen that. but the thickness is closer to 16 gauge. I bought the master builders kit from mandrelbends.com and the pipe thickness was the same. That kit was 16 gauge 304SS. Also I would highly recommend putting solid motor mounts in and mounting the turbos to the frame.

That or mount them to the motor so they move with the engine. If my truck manifold welds fail ill likely go this route.
