nice one cris!!

hp coating is exxy. getting mine done cost me almost as much as the headers themselves.

i would suggest some form of heat insulation, as you will not be able to use the standard heat shield.

merry christmas guys and girls

Hmmm maybe make a video/audio/picture thread?

Organise it by make and model and add tags to whom which car belongs to etc.

And get Eug to sticky it haha, so then we can have less people posting.. 'What does yours sound like?' 'Show me a video of yours' yada yada

got me heat wrap today, my mate told me u have to replace the bolts from the old extractors, anyone know if u have to or not?

No.. yiu dont have to.. but generally on older cars they tend to seize and be quite damaged from the heat from the exhaust..

i think you should be right with a 34 though..

I will post pics of heat wrapped headers tonight/tomorow

http://www.modyourcar.com.au/thermo-tec-ex...x-50-foot-p1328

$70 for a 1inch by 50foot roll of black exhaust wrap

seems to be a good price from what ive seen

NO NO NO!.. 1 inch is FAR too narrow!..

I baught the one inch.. took it home.. looked at the headers and the width of the wrap.. then jumped straight back into the car and swapped it for a 2 inch..

I just wanna save you time and money.. :)

pipe clamps

wrap it at the top a bit, then clamp it tight, then continue to wrap it down the pipe - often a strategic twist means you can come back up another pipe and only have to cut once

i think it also helps to have the wrap a bit damp

on another note i'll be doing this to a set of extractors i managed to get for my excel!!! w00t :(

$120 for old, but unused, anodized mild steel 4-1 extractors....

Wrap it around itself so it secures itself down.. so you take the end.. wrap it around the pipe.. then wrap over the same peice so it secures it self down.. just make sure its nice and tight

so its a straight forward task, the tighter you wrap it the better it will stay on.

cant wait for mine!

oh and have you got the flange welded yet? or did you wrap them first then get it welded later?

extractors for the exel, nice!

not sure if its just me but wouldnt the money be better spent if it was going towards a nice shiney skyline of your own?

or perhaps this exel has something up its sleave for the future that will blow our minds :(

    • @robbo_rb180 I already have a NEO head on the shitbox 馃槑 Just needs beehive springs so I can rev it past the 8600 rpm limiter, then again pointless too, turbo is out of puff lol. Wen da gods let me win lotto eh?
    • Everyone I know with a90 supra at time attack aren't having issues with 3-5 fast laps so far and one is decent powered one too. Saw a k24 swapped 86 with a 8hp70 and big slicks and aero which had no drama's at QR and Manton Park. I've stuck a 25 row cooler in my setup with 8hp45/50 in the hopes of keeping the oil cool as I plan on some racing next year that 20-30min sessions. I've also geared my car so won't be using 7th and 8th gear too. @Dose Pipe Sutututu just needs to get that samsonas in already and have that tassie guy fit a head and rev it too 11ty thousand rpm. 
    • My embedded systems thoughts have me sitting with GTS on this. Variation between same phone hardware, should be small. However, the internal "intensity" or "volume" amount that say Google passes to the app, will be quite different, as the underlying hardware will be passing different levels for the same volume to the Google OS. Until the app creator has had each individual phone, and set benchmarks and calibrations for each, the amount of error can be quite huge.   It can even be observed by using different phones, recording the same noise, and then playing it back, they end up soon ding different. A big reason for it, is even the different types of mics used in phones have different responses, and different frequency ranges. Then you need to get into the DSP, and the variations in those, their sample rates which then effect their frequency range, and then the quality of the DSP, and what type of hardware conversion they do to for the ADC within the DSP. Oh, and let's not forget at the low level phones are designed to cutout loud sounds. It's one of the reasons they suck in really loud environments (eg concerts). The louder you yell, the more you'll get cutout too Note DSP is Digital Signal Processor ADC is the analogue to data converter. I don't have any real data on what the variation would truly be, however, chat GPT says in general, their output is typically between +/-2dB to +/-5dB of what you're really measuring. So realistically, anything from 4 to 10dB variation is possible even with the same devices.
