Had a custom header and straight pipe put on a few days ago, finally got a chance to take a few pictures of it. Let me know what you all think. It's a 2 inch header to 3 inch mid pipe that bolts up to the stock cat back.

Cost me a whopping 175$ for everything.

Let me know what you think.

I'll take a few more pictures when it stops raining outside...

I see you went with crush bends. You get what you pay for.

I'm not the type to do this, but pure brutal honesty here- it's terrible! Crush bends, 3" collector, and shitty welds. You could have done better for 175 dude. The 3" is way too big for your N/A. It's the loss of velocity that makes it lose power. Then, it crams back into the stock y-pipe. Awful design.

Again, I'm sorry for pooping on your mods, but.... eek.

And carbureted? Come on man! There's a reason why cars since the 80's are fuel injected. It's better in every way, but that's another thread for another day.

lol i feel bad ragging too, but yeah for that price u could of picked up a used racing beat header. and it would look better, and function better.

But iw ill give props for going custom if you didnt want to do the normal method.

I"m sure it works for you

Should have just bought a real header for that price.

kenny senter

for that price you could have picked up a much better quality, and tested, header used from one of our many members.

Boo on you!

is that aluminum?

Eh. It works and it doesnt leak. I think it sounds good, i'll post a video of it tomorrow.

Its better than the pos stock turtle and cats. I can feel the car has more power, I may have gotten more from a better header but this works.

yea i have learned that you get what you pay for. come on man do you think that the piping is aluminum. even if you dont know anything about metals you should know that alumimun dosent rust.

You should wrap you header, it'll cover up how pluh it looks and keep heat in the pipes.

Thats exactly what I was going to do to mine. Once I wrap it, you cant tell it between a racing beat. All the bends match (with the exception of them being crush bends) and are the exact same length.

sorry but dude i spent 125 for my 12A road race header(used)it looked better even withthe surface rust/chrome on it. like i got crush bent exhaust after the header i think is fine because the straighter the better on a stock port or street port NA

What material is that?

Exhaust wrap. You can get it from autozone/discount.

I do agree, good job on getting some custom work done. You should, however, chop it at the collector and make the 2 pipes diverge into a 2.5" single, then to the stock y-pipe would work ALOT better.

Make sure you de-rust the header before wrapping. There's also some sort of silicone spray to put on the wrap before putting it on the header. Search on youtube for the DIY network's how-to on this.
