Classic Revival LS1 Headers and Side Pipes
Hi All,
I had a bit of a rough couple of weeks with a dose of the flu and injuring my back last week end. The problem with that is it's given me too much time to think. Sitting and thinking or rather lying down and thinking has proven dangerous and an idea has been fermenting in my head. This idea involves building a new exhaust system for the Cobra so I may have a set of headers and side pipes for sale soon. I was to sell the whole system what do you think they would be worth? The headers are made from mandrel bends and are 1 7/8" primaries. The sidepipes are my rebuildable cat converter equipped units. There are plenty of pics in my gallery. The whole setup is brand new never run and only needs to be ceramic coated. http://www.clubcobra.com/photopost/d...epipes-med.jpg Cheers |
Hey there Mike, as you know I am in the market for side pipes and Headers, so if you want to send me a pm with a price.
I also would like a second set of outer covers for the side pipes. |

sorry to hear about your back.... get well soon;) |
Now thats a bit of a teaser Mike....whats your crazy idea for your pipes??
|
Top secret, can't tell you yet. let's just say that I'm working on a plan to try and catch Garrett.
I've been doing a bit of fabricating and welding today to see if the idea is feasable. Should have a couple of pictures soon. Cheers |
Hey Mike are zoomies legal?
Hope your back is getting better, nothing worse than being cooped up when you are crook. |
Thanks Gav, I'm much better today. A couple of physio sessions and some anti inflamatory pills seems to have done the trick. Just a few twinges today when working in the shed. This is the first day in probably 2 weeks I've been up to working out there.
Hmm, zoomies... Now thats an idea. 8 holes in the bonnet and the pipes coming straight up :D Cheers |
Why am I thinking that Mike's thinking turbos ??
Sorry to hear you've been Crook Mike. Get well soon |
Yep, a big single turbo system something like the set up on Scotts car.
A turbo on the standard motor has some appeal over cam and heads etc since I should be able to keep my emissions legal and keep the noise down too. I've knocked up some rough exhaust manifolds but I think that's as far as I'll go for the moment. I've got to keep my head down and concentrate on getting it on the road. Stop dreaming and start driving... Cheers |
Catch Garrett? As much as I'm a fan of superchargers, with a turbo fitted to your car, I think it'll be Garrett doing the catching.....
I can definitely see my engine with a couple of turbos attached in the future. Maybe in something rear or mid-engined, like a Ford version of Cameron Parson's TT NSX. http://www.pim.net/21703jk31.jpg |
Ooohh... Pantera
a family friend of ours has a GT5 Pantera which is the full house version with the Contach style wing and big flares. Cool car and corners like a slot car. Unfortunately I don't fit in it :CRY: Cheers |
Come on now Mike, where are the promised pictures of your idea?
I am sure I aint the only one who wants to see. |

Ears Burning
Gee, a bloke takes his wife away for a bit of R & R and gets back to find all this chitta chatta about catching me.
Mike ol boy a bit of a insentive might be a bit of anger, at the moment, and probably the next moment and all the moments even to next year, even with 3 Barbie Hairdryers you wont catch me... WHY...%/ BECAUSE YOU"LL NEVER GET THE DAMN CAR FINISHED :eek: :p " please insert sound as per Smilie |
:CRY: :CRY: :CRY:
|
ooohhhh now if that isnt a challenge I dont know what is.
Dont worry Mike, I will help push. |
Mike - if you want to make extra sure you stay in front of Garrett on the track, I can send you down some Ford engine mounts......
|
Ford engine mounts.. That won't do I'm trying to strip all the heavy stuff out of my car :p
cheers |
