Went down to Chris Foley's shop today to meet a friend who's car is there for some rust repair and an exhaust. Chris was using the car to test fit a modified header before it goes out to be coated. Somebody here is going to really sweet system soon.

Always nice work, but the tranny is leaking and the CV bolts are backing out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Good catch on the CV bolts. I missed them altogether.

LOL, it figures you would see that! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
The tranny works ok, so its not time to rebuild quite yet. The halfshaft has to be lowered to install the header. If the car was on a lift it wouldn't be necessary though.

I'm hoping that be mine. Made a deal with the wife, that is my Christmas, valentine, birthday, Father's day, and anniversary present for this year. On top of that I had to sell some used SSI heater boxes and give her the cash. She drives a hard bargain. Steep price but, worth it I think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif)

Chris,
What did you change? Mine didn't require halfshaft disconnection to install...

It's getting coated.

Rob

The primaries on mine are a little longer, maybe that makes a difference.

I thought the primaries looked a little longer than normal....something is brewing. I think I've heard short primaries are best for high rev's, so maybe this better for more torque? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Chris,

The car just isn't far enough up in the air to slip the pipe over the halfshaft. I was only explaining why the CV bolts were backed out.

Dave,
This is your header. The muffler is just about done and the header is being delivered to the coating shop this afternoon. I'm glad you worked out a deal with your significant other. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

This header is the first Tangerine Street Header, as opposed to the Tangerine Racing Header. The pipe lengths are adjusted for engines that peak below 6000 rpm - such as the RAT 2270 Performer, or a bone stock engine. Side benefits include increased clearance for the clutch cable, and better tube arrangement for ease of fitting a heater box. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif)

Chris, looks great as always!!

Chris and I will be working together even more in 2007 to develop some new systems and variants of current systems. My new R&D dyno lab is being set up with exhaust system testing as one if its primary goals.

I recently finished the header and heat exchanger installation on this car.
The complete HE system went on with only two minor issues. The wye tube that splits the heat to both sides of the car need a tweek so the flex tube would connect better. The second issue was actually with the wire that controls the flappers. It was too short on one side so I pulled it partway out of the tunnel to move the bend in the wire. I broke the wire trying to straighten the original bend. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Here are a few pics from the install:
