Dave(Novak of FRF) never made good on his promise to build me another header....anyone have a short aftermarket header they would part with?(please, no offers for SFR headers)

Cheers

 

There's always these...

You've tried SFR before by the sounds of it?

 

I am running the Stage 2 version. It is not a bad header but it does have some issues. The major of these are their flange connections and the crossover pipe in general.

If I had it all to do over again I would probably have looked harder at the CEP header. He makes a really nice product but can be hard to get hold of.

 

Yup Dave modified my Stage 2 headers lol

 

Always B&B headers

Why always B&B headers?

 

See Bob(rlm328)
Seems like a reoccurring theme....

 

Wanna trade?
You need to stick around for a Bob day so I can take you out in the beast....when I took Rene out last year he was tapping the boost gauge, saying its broken

 

crap

 

I know bob has had some issues with srf, what have others have? I did just purchase a full set of stg2, so now I'm worried

 

They are great years ago I forget the magazine but they did testing on LR SPR and B&B if recall the B&B was tops for stage 1 style of header.


Sure, have the days been announced yet?

 

I wouldn't worry about them initially. But I do think they were made from the wrong stainless. I think they are 309 or something like that. The biggest issue with the ones I have is the crossover, after running hard on it for about 2 years it is in need of constant repair. I am trying to get Yut to build me a new one but he is snowed under right now. The crossover is probably most vulnerable to temperature shifts from driving through puddles, wet grass and stuff. So it has a tendency to get work hardened through the heating and cooling cycles so they will crack where stress builds up most. I will take them off sometime this summer and see if I can stress relieve them by heating them up red hot and allow them to air cool.

 

I would just get someone to make you up a custom set. Might be a bit more expensive but you'll get exactly what you want. Must be 1000 places in the US that can do this. Do the exhaust, X over, downpipe etc all in one go.

 

I am just starting my next engine build and will have a custom header made for it. This one was a learning experience, I know more about what to ask for this time.
