Great welding onto the manifold, wish I could do that.
Thanks Lakes I would have preferred them to be finished with the TIG but my local exhaust guy cant do it and as it's going at the rear of the engine no one will ever see it. Finding someone who can TIG well is few and far between, I was just glad he was able to get the angle and rotation correct as that's all I was really concerned about.
How do you know the angles are right until they go to fit it?

A jig ( mounting frame ) was made up for the headers before they were cut, that way you know the modifications end up being in line with the prior angles.Actually two jigs were made as the exhaust flex pipe also required upgrading/upsizing with a brand new 2 1/4 flex with new flange ends that also needed specific angles.
Just a little though I'd imagine getting those covers lined up properly would be a right bugger as well, if you stuck them slightly off line they'd be a real pain to remove.
The car is currently still connected to the hub dyno waiting for the final tune to come back with extra adjustments, hopefully I'll be picking it up this arvo
Wont be much to show in video that I haven't already showed with pictures, unless you're wanting to hear it...I've no idea what it's going to sound like myself until I pick it up.
