my first attempt at an exhaust header for my Duratec install
one of the jobs I've been putting off for months and months, but finally bit the bullet and took the plunge.
what better way to warm up the chilly -1deg garage temp than with a bit of welding.
Wanted a through the side system for my Striker rebirth project, but could'nt find a system to fit, and at the right price. Nearly went into
brain meltdown trying to source the bends, and a bit more practice needed on some of the bits, but all in all it turned out OK, just got to finish off
at the flange and a bit around the 4-1 merge, happy days

That looks a cracking job! When can I drop my car round for a Zetec header doing?

cheers fellas, thanks for the positive comments..........even if i charge minimum wage per hour it'll cost about 1/2million quid, the length of
time it took me
next one will be quicker with a bit of luck

Looking great so far. I'm really not looking forward to doing the exost on my x-flow.

Lovely job, the planning is the worst part 
Once you start cutting it all falls into place

got the bends from ospery exhaust components, they got a website. sometimes they struggle with stock, but if you ring up they'll sort you
out...
the collector was from a fellow locoster. I was half way through making my own at the time, but it was quicker to bag a second hand one.
here's my half finished collector.......

Well if mine looks half as good as that one, I will be more than happy...
Good skills !
