Re: 24v ss headers!
Posted: Tue Jul 16, 2013 1:20 pm
Ok guys, we didn't do too bad; the first 24v header set hit the street today on my car! I must say its all I expected -it should be, I was there every working day for a month and a half or so!
Note that these pics were taken before final assembly so some vital components are missing (starter heat shield, motor mount heat wrap etc.) In the few hours driving time, there were no strange vibrations, noises or any other undesirable occurrences. So... the JK24v headers are now a reality! Seven more sets will be made using my car as a template at a total cost of 900€ each+shipping and they are spoken for. If any more were to be made, we'd have to make a precision jig which isn't that easy, given the very tight clearances from engine/chassis parts.
Vitals: 42mm OD (38.5mm ID) primaries, 55mm OD secondaries, 63mm OD tailpipe, primary lengths ~650mm.
