 your not joking when you said you were gonna make a bad ass 2.3t, how hard is it to do headers? My brother wants me to make some for when he does a 3400 swap to his caviler, and he wants to turbo it

there called (weld el's) they are basiclly natural gas steel fittings. it is the same material Bob lee uses on his log headers.

Its definatly not the cheapest way out. ive got 128.00 worth of pipe there.
