She's still studying or should be.
But speaking of studing. I know you need a refresher on fluid dynamics, so here you go:-

Re: US Headers & Exhausts NA
Another wow from me.
Can't wait to read the review of this awesome product. Am expecting it to be completely original and not plagiarised from the seller.
Actually, I'm surprised dan is still in business having to compete with this product and all...

Re: US Headers & Exhausts NA
I tried contacting the sellers and the company website. No responses, even after repeated reminders and expressions to buy. Quality sellers and company for sure!

Re: US Headers & Exhausts NA
The welding looks very average to me. The whole thing looks like a nightmare. If it's too cheap then that's what it will be. If it does not fit bad luck. Detergent meths vodka Yeah that will make the difference.

US Headers & Exhausts NA
I don't know, I think after enough Vodka I could be convinced it's worth putting on the car.... Maybe just for laughs, you know, just like how slammin looks cool and stuff. Stupid in terms of what it does to performance and handling, but some folks think it looks wicked. I just see stupid.

Re: US Headers & Exhausts NA
external diameter appears to change between welds? or is that just the photo/my eyes?

Re: US Headers & Exhausts NA
Agreed. Looks like a dog's breakfast, those unequal length runners.
If this is "tuned", it is done badly. I can't think of a good reason to deviate from what is tried and tested design for equal lengths.
For example, Xforce 4-2-1 design below showing how curls are used to achieve equal lengths.

Pretty much the same.
So they aren't tuned then?
Dupain wrote:So you would expect the primary on cyl one to have a slightly smaller internal diameter to tune it to compensate for thevextra length.
I mean, I could see they weren't tuned right from page 1 of the thread, but even by your own unusual definition of tuned they aren't...

Re: US Headers & Exhausts NA
Hard to tell in the photo but the welds looks pretty average particularly the first weld after the flange one cyc 2.
Seems excessively curly given short the primary is still.
