Do you have a bead roller? it would expidite the process of adding a step to a panel.

@tazz9924 - I do have a bead roller. No way it/I could bead roll that recessed panel area. Plus, I've found the stamping approach totally eliminates any panel distortion.

Figured it'd be prudent to test fit the first header. The good news is it fits as planned. The less than good news is that it's all but invisible way down there.

Clearance with the stock suspension at full droop. I'll be running shortened shocks to help limit axle angle so this area will have even more room.
O2 sensor will live just past the rear engine cradle mount.

Thats fair, distortion is a problem i typically have, usually what i do is break the edges to straighten it out, it also helps weld it on. You could also be a savage and prestress it with a english wheel but im not going to pretend like id even try it. I like your stamping for its smaller detail and not accidentally messing up the corners like the bead roller.

Maybe some LED lighting would highlight them. You’re right, those pipes are way too cool to stay in the shadows. Style points, baby!

Or maybe a few strategically placed mirrors in the engine compartment.

Very nice!

Wouldn't surprise me if your conversion header flows better than the stock Ferrari part.

Just impressive!

It really is a beautifully constructed item and you can see it just fine. It will be quite noticeable to anyone who cares to look. I'm very interested to see how the final exhaust system assembly will continue to differ from that of the LS motor...

Best view of the exhaust is had by the inside of the tire! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

I worked up a fixture to locate the collector so I could tack it in place

Then everything was final welded. Still have the O2 bung to add, then it's work out the rest of the exhaust.

Your work is incredible. Gigantic props. Form AND function.
Is the support for the collector attached to the engine side of the motor mount
or to the chassis side ?

@rgalla9146 That's not a support. It's a temporary fixture I made to hold the collector in position so I could tack it to the primaries. The engine and headers need to move independently from the engine cradle. I'll work out muffler hangers once I get to that point.

Even your temporary supports are outstanding !
Can't wait to see the rest of the exhaust system and brackets
