Going back into the exhaust does make it alot quieter though.
I think as short as they are it wont effect the power. But I know what your saying

I only have 3 words....OH MY GOD

That car is sexy, great build so far. I can't wait to build a fox, but I doubt I'll have the funds to do something like this.

BTW the red car has the right stance, if you do something like that with yours it will be perfect IMO Keep up the good work

anything you can share

tube daimeter,flange, plug access, any other build pics of the headers, etc.
i really like how they fit and the way they place the turbos !

thanks!

1 3/4,T4 flange,321 stainless... those are the only pics I have. My plan is to relocate the coils down under the headers on the frame rail. DBRODS has 2 others interested in a set of them. He will build you a set.

looool, i have a few projects that can benifit from these headers

please keep us updated regarding the headers , i might get a set or two

i am correct to assume you can only use them with a manual brake setup (no brake booster)??

Yes it will just be on the other side.

Are those downpipes aluminum? The welds look like tigged aluminum.

EDIT: Just read the explanation.

Are aluminum downpipes very common? It seems like they would start melting close to the turbo unless they got a lot of airflow.

Actually it's quite a lot cooler at the turbine outlet than the inlet side. The turbine acts as an expander, I suppose a common misconception is that the turbine in a turbocharger is nothing more than a "water wheel" that is forced to rotate from the exhaust velocity alone. The shape and sizing of the turbine housing and inlet vs outlet also produces a gas expansion which reduces the exhaust temperature and pressure (see: ideal gas law, thermodynamic processes).

This is essentially the reverse of what happens on the compressor side. This pic is a decent example of how much hotter the exhaust gas is on the inlet side of the turbine vs the outlet (the entire turbine housing is glowing, yet the outlet is not, suggesting a significant difference in temp.)



The orange and lemon colours suggests temps over 1700 degrees F, whereas the outlet side looks purple/blue which I suppose is somewhere in the 500 degrees F range.

This is below annealing temps and well below melting temps of most aluminum alloys.
