Project: L-body headers

[ForcedFirebird]

Alan, I said that because your headers are the prototypes and aren't quite as pretty is all I had to cut and re-weld yours, then adjusted the jig to compensate for the rest of the sets.

[lolwut]

I'm happy with the exhaust, if that's what you mean, John. I looked around for a week trying to find an exhaust tip that'd look good, but turns out a pipe cut at an angle looks great!

The gen2 needs help up top (due to the intake manifolds), so that's cool that it helped you in that area. I need to get a clip of my exhaust, I think my camera records low frequencies well and it doesn't get over loaded so I need to get some clips going for future comparisons.

[ForcedFirebird]

Yeah! And remember that's a bone stock gen 2 3.1

How do you like the exit we fabricated?

[lolwut]

Don't forget Alan also got the full mandrel-bent exhaust

Since he got the actual prototype headers, he got a great deal on the exhaust as well

Hell yes I did. Dunno if I said it or not yet but I'm sorry about the rush on them! Work was ready to kick my ass if I called a whole weekend off after a paid week's vacation

Issac, the headers do wonders, especially in the mid-range and higher on this engine, which is a damn good thing with the 3t40's gearing. Once I have the intakes on this thing and a chip it might be able to keep up with traffic!

Not sure if here would be the best place to post them, but have a second gear pull and some mindless revs.

Alan, even on a gen2 motor, they have to help a ton! Our manifolds really stink! I bet your car can keep up with or beat a stock 3100 car now. I've wanted headers on my car ever since I got it. Too bad I don't have the cash to put a set on both Berettas!!

[pocket-rocket]

can't remember what my reason for getting them was, but I'm glad I did.

Maybe because you can't go wrong with headers?

[lolwut]

I dunno if my set came out of the beta count... can't remember what my reason for getting them was, but I'm glad I did.

[IsaacHayes]

I was surprised the L body sets sold out as fast as they did. Well I bought the first one, and expected the others to sit for a while while people saved up... The people with active project build ups recently had already obtained S&S headers, so I was wondering who else would be getting them.

[RedBird]

Grand Am coming soon. The j-bodies were lacking and didn't take advantage of the three beta sets, so once the 2 of those are finished we will be moving on to other body styles

hey now, be nice. don't forget that you also cut their time short and set a higher price. i remember the last beretta set being on sale for a while :P

doing great work. so glad to see someone who is finally in it for the better of the community and not just themselves. even though i know you have to try to makle a *little* money out of these.

[IsaacHayes]

They look great John! Really close to equal length, should perform great!

What color are you coating them? Silver/aluminum color would be cool. (black won't show them off as much)

yeah.... after seeing milzy's port work, i'm not even going to consider anything else that requires this kind of precision.

I've seen it in person O.o

[robertisaar]

Milzy does 96-97 ones.

Milzy does 96-97 ones. And as far as I know only 3 sets have been done in a W with a 91-95 engine, 2 of which went through the sub frame and one lost a bit of ground clearance.
