LS1 / T56 DD e28 BMW Build

Making some new stainless headers...

The drivers side is really tight so starting with the harder one.

New compared to old.


The third runner from the left is just a test right now and will change...

Sweet....needs Euro E28 headlamps. I just read a post in mye28.com that said Schmiedmann here in Germany has NOS for cheap...

Looks nice man. We need to talk about some headers for my never finished project.

haha...yeah maybe 2013 will be the year you finish it

[dannyyisntt]

Haha yeah 2013 might be my year. But one never knows for sure.

I wasn't happy with how the header was going to merge together so I started over.... MUCH happier with how it is working now.

4 into 1 collector




New version...






On the car...

[ACHTUNG]

Yes! Looks fantastic.

[LJ851]

Looks much better although the 3rd cyl back seems to get the short end of the stick so to speak. Not much room on that side!

[jakeb]

Yeah I would have liked that runner to be longer but there really is just no room. Everything is so tight. But it is a smooth transition. I am happy with how it is coming out.

[MR 325]

Very nice work!

[jakeb]

more work on the headers...

passenger side







On the car

[JCarp90]
