I'll rework the CAB heat shield while the headers and mid section are off for ceramic coating, it clears fine now but doesn't look very good.

Here's something I'm working on.... It's a 3-D printed stainless adapter that's "S54" on one side and "N52" on the other...
It has a slight amount of tilt-up for the header, like 1.5 degrees, so the runners clear the fatter N52 block.
Much less fabricating, I paid for $120 for both of them. I need to Tig these onto my headers and verify they don't warp or anything. More to follow...

Welding the header to the flanges was WAY easy. Just a no-filler pass of the torch to fuse the two barrels together at 80amps. The inner barrel is already fused to the pipe at the factory.
3D printed stainless is the least-fussy thing I've every touched. No warping, no drama; almost like it was designed that way!
where does the metal come from? I don't know, it's like magic...

Ok, this is crazy...
For LESS than the price of having these laser cut from SCS and less than just purchasing these off-the-shelf, I can have these 3D printed in stainless and also save 0.6lbs from a set of four....
$25 each from ProtoTi.com
(also, I'm not a huge fan of V-band clamps, at least here.)
