a couple of half spheres and some daps of propely applied JB weld and you would have a nice rack...

Looks like a merged header....

Did Tom call you?

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/popcorn[1].gif) ....or it,s a collector for one bank of a "six" racing exhaust....

Thats the best answer, but it isn't for a race header - at least not for now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
QUOTE('swood')

shotgun shot glass?

Every year one of my vendors has a christmas party and they have a ski with 4 shot glasses glued onto it. It would be a bit tough for 3 people to drink at once from a design like mine, unless they used straws. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
QUOTE('Travis Neff')

angles look very broad for a 3-1

My approach is different from what everyone else has already done - thinking outside the box here. I don't want to make a near copy of what already exists.
Looking at all the available products I see only these approaches:
1) Keep the price down by using a simple pipe arrangement and get the exhaust to the (stock type) muffler as quickly as possible, while still being able to say the primaries are equal length.
2) Add a crappy ss heat exchanger box to a crappy ss header and charge a sh..load of money for it.
3) Meticulously fabricate a very expensive full on stainless race header for a high rpm engine.

No one seems to have fully applied exhaust tuning principles to a street header. I'm designing a mid priced, H/T coated mild steel, high performance street header for engines that have a red line between 6500 & 7000 rpm. Both the primaries and secondaries are going to be tuned length, made for peak power near 6000 rpm. 1 1/2" and 1 5/8" sizes will be available.
This collector is a key ingredient. It is the shortest, easiest to fabricate and install, highest quality, smoothest flowing welded merge 3 into 1 collector available.
Not only that, I expect my stainless steel (dual outlet) muffler to be more free flowing, yet quieter, than anything else I've seen on the market. I also expect it to work with a WEVO 915 tranny, and it will be adaptable to the other popular headers. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
One more thing, If you NEED to have a banana muffler but want the benefits of a higher quality tuned length header, it will be easy to adapt my header to the stock design muffler. My muffler will be lighter though. It will have better ground clearance by 2", and be made in (IMG:style_emoticons/default/flag.gif) .

Chris,

I have always wondered why we have had to settle for the cheap shit engineered crap that is out there in the market place.

Doesn't seem to be much out there other than yours that I would buy, (MHO)

Keep up the good work!

So this is for an exhaust scavenging header like you do for the 4-clys?

Does that mean you are going 6 yourself, or just looking for a new market now that Jake does work on the watercooled 6's?

Yes.

It has nothing to do with Boxsters, and I'm not installing a six in any of my cars.
People have been asking me for years to do a six header. I knew I would get around to it someday, and even had a motor set up in the shop upside down waiting for me to start.
I had three inquiries in October and I have a customer conversion car nearing completion. When I looked around I wasn't satisfied with what is available so development is underway. The first one will go on a 3.2L that is being installed in the semi-916 project we have here.
The time has come.

Cool stuff, can't wait to see the results, in pictures and dyno figures!
3.2 with those headers will be mighty trick indeed.
