M20 Long Tube Header GB Feeler

[McGyver]

not that im at the point where i need the headers yet (i still haven't bought/decided on an engine for the swap), but when the time comes it would be nice to be able to buy headers designed to fit on an m5x, s5x, s50b3x, s54, m/s38 swapped car that is able to clear the subframe and strut towers. i know thats a lot of design work to engineer a good product that will fit properly, but i dont know of any company producing something like that at a reasonable price.

Possible without the x piece? I plan on running single 2.75" back, I'm down either way though.

Am curious as to the fitment. Because most aftermarket headers that i've seen dont seem to have a perfect seal.

absolutly. I am just as curios as you guys are.

we gonna sell them together, if you dont need it, I am sure you can sell it on here w/p a problem. But I would suggest cutting it where the X comes together and use the for the V part of your Y pipe.

It will have a perfect seal. That is one of the things that Anthony and I discussed today when we spoke. This seems to be the biggest concern with ebay headers so we are going to make sure that our are flat, they should bolt right up.

Will these fit an ix? Just though about that.

I honestly do not know.

I'm interested in 24v swap compatible headers, but it seems like interest really died down on those.

How about providing an ETA on when you plan to post images (CAD and/or prototype) of these headers and estimated cost?

basically if I have an example to copy, I would only need maybe 10 people to make it cost effective. if I have to build these from scratch it would be cost prohibitive.

good idea

Estimated cost to you guys is hopefully gonna be south of 250 a set, I dont know yet, but when I know you will.

I spoke with anthony yesterday, the headers are still being made, he is in dicussions with a company.Sometime toward the end of the month I should have them in my hands and then I will provide detailed install pics, dynos, ect. the best I can.

[der affe]

what size primaries are you planning on using 1 1/2" 1 5/8" ?

have you thought about the ground clearence issues found with the STAHL long tube headers since that is that style you were looking to emulate?

what wall thickness tubing and flange thickness were you planning on?
