1: hey I'm working on a custom header for my tib i have had the header made and have pics below. what i would like is some ideas of how to run it into duals with the other o2 sensor still working. so any advice on this let me know.

also if you know of any header resembling let me know where to get specs to compare

sorry bout the quality ill try and update with better pics tomorrow camera doesn't like the cold
also just heat resistant black paint
fixed:HKC

 

please double check your spelling. from the cameraphone photos it is hard to tell but it looks like they are coated. they look good. once you got them on, let us know how it sounds.

 

You made those or what?

 

much better! there are downpipes with two inlets, but they only come with the complete headers.did you make that yourself or did a shop do that for you?

if you made it yourself, take the stock downpipe apart and weld two inlets and a duplicate flange. there's one member, mauricio, who made his own just like how i'm referring. pm him for advice.

also, the paint is good but it will flake off. once finished i'd suggest to get it ceramic coated to keep them cooler. a while back i used jet-hot but i don't know how their service is today.

 

i sent factory manifold to machine shop for mounting to head specs and then gave them a template for them to cut bottom mount to my duals. pipeing was hand selected, bent, and welded if that makes sense. aslo have brackets for heat shields wink1.gif

 

Cool. And last time I used Jet-Hot they were very good with service. Got the discount also!

 

right now my current plan is to put an x-pipe after the dual outlets with the o2 sensor put in the center and then running duals to 2 factory mufflers with 40k on them. any muffler or other way of running duals suggestions?

and on the coating im probably going to have it sent off but im wanting to wait till i hear and feel the performance to access its value.

 

this isn't ''hand made''
it's a manifold/header off the older 1.8 tib/lantra

 

^ It does kinda look like the 1.8L manifold at first glance... but it isn't.

 

Running duals on a 4 Cyl isn't the brightest thing around, expect some good LOSS of power for sure.

Those look like they were modeled right after the 1.8L Semi Header.

Also, get them coated professionally first, you won't want to have to take them back off, then deal with it all later, it's so much more work. The flaking paint will get all over your engine bay.
