naa i'm just gonna clean it all up & ceramic coat everything, most of it will be hidden anyways once the turbo is mounted.

I assume they are, but are they all equal length? for some reason one of them looks a touch longer than the others proportionately...could just be the angle.

now you just need the equal treatment to your charge pipes

also, since I now know you have a workin cam...send me the pics of my charge pipes!! :reechy:

also I think I tracked downa dizzy for ya if you still need it.

for those who were concerned about the t3 flanged being a restriction to the collector, it's the pictures, it's been cut to match perfectly & then ported to exact size for a smooth flow.

The equal lenth, it's about as close as it's gonna get, i have it measured to about 1.5 inchs difference at the worst. I'm not worried about perfection at this point, i wanted it close for a good flow.

My chrage pipes are all being re-done as well, i'm going to try to improve flow as much as possible, it was my goal to do so this winter, i think it's going in the right direction!

What's really awesome is how much $ your ingenuity saves.

Check these out...
http://www.burnsstainless.com/MergeC...ollectors.html

Click on the 4-into-1 and the Turbo Collectors buttons at the top of the page. Buying a pre-fabbed piece (that still requires further fabrication) that's built to the highest standards of materials and design starts at around $350. Add mandrel-bent piping and a flange and you suddenly have the most expensive header money can buy.

I've always wished I could win a 10-minute shopping spree on that website. Building my own charge pipes using the stuff they sell would cost me around $2200... and I'm a cheap-ass DSMer, so that will never happen. :P

Like I said, looks great! I can't do better! U gotz skillz.
