Maybe @Tygaboy will lend you the "Header Legos" he used to make the 914 Ferrari headers?

@ClayPerrine @Rick 918-S Rick, the header kit I have is 1 5/8". If that'll work for you, let me know. I'd be happy to lend it to you. If you want to check it out, look up Ice Engine Works. |

Thank you for the offer. Looks like Marty has a simple solution. I was just going to deconstruct 2 of the tubes from the collectors, Rotate the tubes inward to take the hips out of the set. The way I have it planned I won't loose any of the equal length tubes. |

Well I was able to deconstruct two of the header tubes on the right side today. I cut the bottom of the first two tubes at the head flange and tipped the header out to move it away from the cable pulley. Then I started reshaping the third and forth tubes for a tighter fit.
![]() ![]() ![]() I started tacking the tubes back together. I have some mandrel bends on order to finish out the tubes. |

OMG are those NICE! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/new_shocked.gif) So much better than the collectors on the exhaust now. I'd HAVE to have those! |

@technicalninja we use this merge style collector on all of our production headers; 928, 928 32v, 944, 944 16v, 968. A bit more HP/tQ and throttle response with the merge !
Rick I'm sure that once you get them big hips outta there, you're fab skills + final detailing on the primaries = you will have a good pair of custom headers. Hope you make the 914 meet up !

Ok, so I have been working on this header issue over the week. As I was working on the first redesign I realized the header was too low and too long to really connect up to the out put tubes.
So back to the drawing board. This is what I ended up with. I am loosing the equal length effect a "little" but I don't have a tubing bender and didn't have any real tight bends to shoot the two rear tubes forward radically then back. Everything is tacked and ready to TIG weld. Ultimately I think it was worth the effort so far. ![]() |

That is pretty sweet! Can't wait to see how it all fits together in the 914.

Started the research on the flywheel for the Boxster Conversion. This is a 928 Automatic Transaxle flywheel I think I can machine the ring gear off and use it.
