Nice single turbo header

This is a nice single turbo header for a sbc. It is ceramic coated, has 3/8" flanges, heavy wall tubing, t4 flanges, tig welded...a nice quality header. You won't be disappointed. I have jumped into the LSX stuff now and really have no use for it. I acquired it a few years ago and it has sat since then. The only flaw, if you can call it that, is some discoloration of the coating. I'm looking for $350. Im sure this thing cost more than that to build.

Unfortunately I dont. I actually never bolted it on. I have a spare set of heads I can bolt it too and snap a couple.

I'm confused by the angle of the crossover and the room for the downpipe. Was it made for a thirdgen ?

I think it might fit a 4th gen. The other thing that's odd is it doesn't have a wastegate mount. If you could get a picture of it mounted in a car I think that would help with the sale. Price is right.

Re: Nice single turbo header

Looking for something like this, maybe not so shiney. Nice piece, but like anesthes don't think the crossover from pass side would fit. Kinda puts it right in starter location, IMO.

Nice price tho for quality piece. Could run a t4-t4 adapter with wg mount if it didn't raise it thru the hood.

I want one that'd move the whole t4 bend/flange past the #2 cylinder, towards the front of engine where A/C components used to be, with the crossover more vertical. I like the #8 pipe compared to BBS designed.

Sometimes when you have something that is complete and not warped it's worth using.

I'd probably cut the crossover off and weld a 45* and it would be in the same spot as a BBS header.

Can run the WG in the crossover. Too bad the OP isn't local to me, I've got a car he could bolt it in and take a bunch of pictures to help the sale.

Re: Nice single turbo header

Yeah it would be nice to bolt up and snap pics, unfortunately all I have is LSX stuff now and the only gen1 sbc is in the car and already has turbos on it. I don't want to take it apart to snap any. I am open to offers if someone wants to try it out.

Re: Nice single turbo header

I would like something like this for my 3rd gen so cut the hood and show that snail sticking out my car is garaged so it would work out.
