Thread: Pictures of Modified SD Headers (using jig)

SilverGTP on here was nice enough to let me use his jig for the speed daddy headers. Here are some pictures of the finished product. Headers are going on the grand prix this Friday. I thought it came out well.

Ooo fancy.

i heard some chatter about this on NEP. finished product looks perfect! keep updated w/ install

Wtf are the bolts for?

And can you make a diagram of that jig with mesurments and assembly instructions for the rest of the class?

Turned out really nice. Your friend welds better than mine.

All I did to make that jig was to assemble the rear header and downpipe assembly then grab some scrap wood and build around it. Once you have it lagged in place, start cutting the middle out and weld it back together how you want. The pics above are very nice work.

Thats awesome...might have to drive up and rent that off ya if I do mine.

Thanks guys. I'll post pictures of how they look installed too.

Those bolts are plugs for where my narrowband and wideband sensors go.

do mine pleaseeeeeeeeeeee

nice job, very clean welds.

I hope you replaced that flex tho, its gunna tick and leak within a while.

Whats wrong with the flex?
just wondering cause i have no idea :P.
is that the flex that comes with the SDs?

the sd's come with a single walled flex pipe that over time will blow out and cause the tick sounds.

I replaced it with a double walled 3in ZZP flex pipe to never have the issue.

Tho, some people say they never have an issue with just throwing the SD's in just the way they are, but I didnt want to chance that.

The flex was replaced with a ZZP interlock, wideband bung added, still used the original v-band but I purchased Torca accuseal clamps.

Good man.

The 3in one correct?

Yes, 3"

Purty, I want

gonna be doin that to mine next month so i ca lower my car a little bit more

That's just about how I wanted to redo the SD Headers I picked up. It looks so good, I might even redo my SLP headers for my other car. Where'd you get your clamps from? Did you TIG or MIG weld them? Let us know of any bottoming issues.

Well, first I got the 3" torca clamps off of ebay for about 11 shipped each. I then found out that frozenboost sells "torca style" stainless clamps and went with them for the 2.25" crossover clamps. Frozenboost is the cheapest (4.99 each + shipping) and shipping only took 2 business days (USPS First Class).

Great work man.

Turned out really good with the results I'd be looking for if I didn't have welded headers already.
