Thread: My Rat Build

Tweet

Got my header built and the intake on the engine this past week. Nothing else much has happened.

I used an old racecar header and cut the flange out and cleaned out all the old tubing. I cut all the bends out of the header and used them to fab up the bends I needed on the new headers. Welded everything from the back side and ground down the welds till only a 1/16 bead was left. This will assure a good seal on the gasket. I am going to use VW exhaust tips for the baffles.

Here's a few photos of the build.
