Thanks for the complements! A couple inches towards the front, and progressively less going towards the rear.

I am normally not a big fan of hood scoops on these cars, but I could definitely live with that one if I had to.

924 swapped. I want this so bad. I just sold my baby 924S. I wanted to do this so bad either an LT1 or ls1. I never had the money to get it started. Oh well. Now there is a kit on 944hybrids. I may do this someday.

Dan and I got the driver side header pretty much done yesterday. I've been busy with work and also we've been waiting for a bunch of parts to come in to finish test fitting everything. We'll post some pics of the completed header soon.

Nice job gentlemen.
I knew you had a handle on things. Reminds me of the '60s "Try-Y" design.

Very nice, indeed.
Beats a "shorty" all day long.

Thanks, Greg. I'll give you a call to see where we go from here on the headers.

Alan,

I'm trying to generate the minimum buy-in order.

http://944hybrids.forumotion.com/for-sale-wanted-vendors-limited-f7/ls-series-3-4-length-headers-t598.htm#5962

I'll be in contact with S&P again Monday.
I'll buzz you this weekend with shipping details, and you should have them back in time to get the car tuned.

Thanks man!
Greg

Thanks for sharing your header design. A good affordable set of headers is pretty much all that was not available for this conversion.

No problem... glad I can contribute to "the cause". Thanks really should go to Dan Jauch to Andy Kihm for most of the design and fab.

Very nice, be careful with those headers Maybe wrap them with a towel if they come close.
