Nevermind then, frozen ***** are never fun! I love California.

 

just a few pics I got while working on everything.







I still gotta make the TB adapter plate, thanks again tired for the template, I also gotta work on making a new valley cover but working out those details now.

 

Nice ride! Ok, got to ask; where did you get the headers from? I am sure all of us would love to know... : )

-Mike

 

those arent headers, just the heat shields are removed

 

Why did you remove the heat shields?

 

Im really confussed. In his sig it says ceramic coated headers, but then he says its just heat sheilds removed. ?????

 

what neilownz said, I just have my heat shields off. When did the rebuild had the stock headers ceramic coated by a shop local in my state, I just didn't feel the need to re-install the heat shields.

 

Very Nice job Mixerda!

 

See that looks bad ***, i dont think our manifolds are really that restrictive. Especially since really all there is for our cars are bolts on. I think the crossover tube into the rear manifoldis f-ing us. I figure just installing a cap on the rear manifold/crossover joing point. then merge the front and rear exhaust manifold together like a collector or run 2 seperate pipe with and X or H pipe. should Be able to bend the factory crossover tube over just enough to make clearance to a second small pipe, Really if udid that u would only need 2 inch pipe. for each side.

 

I was thinking about that, but The 1st thing that came to my mind was that you won't have any cats, because thats just not enough room!

 

You could use a bullet cat. They are only 4 inches in diameter and should have no fitment problems. You could also go catless.

 

Well when you consider F-bodies typically pick up 20rwhp from a set of headers with only bolt-ons I'd say those are pretty restrictive. With mixerda's setup I'd say they are excessively restrictive, I'm sure the difference would be night and day.

Anybody consider a custom set?

 

Yeah for over 1 grand someone will build them. I think that is way too expensive so I'll stick with some ported manifolds intead.

-Mike

 

thats about right. You know a good set costs about that much anyways.

 

Mixerda is that an LS1 intake. Looks like one anyways that i just picked up from my friend. Any new updates anyone.. Bueler Bueler... Have you guys figured out the Fuel rail Issue?

 

This would solve some clearance issues..

word is retail is going to be around $400 or so, for that price I'm willing to try and see if it will clear. I'm hoping someone will get a measurement of how high the manifold when installed from valley cover to top of the mani.

I got 9 ½” from the valley cover to the hood insulation on the 06 GXP

 

I think we can make it work. That would be so sexy on our cars. dont think we would have to worry about clearance for the oil sensor, or mess with the DOD connectors.
Besides real men dont need hoods
