Body kit and GHL headers for sale
#20
I think most people would tell you B&B and GHL are very similiar. When I noticed the crack I took them off to get repaired. I had a porsche meet to go to and they were not going to be done on time. So like an IDIOT I bought a new set in the mean time. So now I am selling them to recoupe some of the 1800.00 they cost new.

The big stainless boxed section with heater hose connections at each end is the heat exchanger.
The primary tubes of the header are inside the box doing their thing and heating the air in the box for you in the winter...

A couple things to be aware of or check out on those headers...
The welding is overdone and awful looking and it looks like there is an accumulation of burnt metal slag on the inside of the header right before the turbo.
A good weld is smooth and doesn't look like that. That looks over cooked and rough and if you could hit it with a hammer small chunks of slag may break off... if that stuff goes through your turbo it will ruin it.
l'd go over the inside of that weld with a die grinder with carbide burr, followed up with a sand paper flapper wheel on it to make sure there is no almost-loose-finely-cracked-carbonized metal slag in there...
Most guys would throw those in the trash and not risk ruining a turbo looking like that.
Second, the number 5 cylinder was running lean, you can tell by the light gray color inside the primary tube so look for possible cracks in the primary tube inside of the heat exchanger.
Probably a bad injector caused that.
The other cylinders were running a correct mixture.
If these issues were not so obvious I would have bought them...
Maybe they are fine, but check them over good... KKK turbo's are expensive.
...hope nobody jumps all over me for saying this, but you are taking a risk if you just bolt those on and go.
