Well you don't know what he's going to do yet. Don't be so sure the video will be exactly the same as the post about the jig.
Just chill man, you haven't donated so you're not even part of the project. No need to criticize when the results have not yet been posted.
Well no **** obviously I'll have them rewelded. No I don't have the space to build a jig atm. So what point are you getting at? Again OP is not asking you to donate that's your choice if you do or not but you seem to want to go out of your way to sway people away from supporting this. Leave that up to them to decide and not crap his thread.
More of a visual then anything and not just a picture of the final product.
Edit: Again it's not your money! Point blank you don't have to be on board with his so called soliciting method.. Don't post in here then you can simply skip over the thread and go about enjoying the site. You make it seen like its a being Inconvenience to you that this thread even exists.

I understand Nick can't give me a breakdown of "I'm going to cut here at this angle, and weld this at this angle with this PN, and cut this and weld here." But he can say that he is going to modify the downpipe to eliminate the drainpipe bend. Or reconfigure the crossover to fit better and install easier. Both of those things are what WBS is doing the headers they are welding.Quote:
Just a point of clarification; are you going to modify the headers to match what PWNED received?
Another issue that wasn't discussed, but is a huge point when talking about headers is the ease of installation. Everyone has said WBS headers fit great and have no problems with installing them or leaks once installed. If Nick is going to modify a set of headers, I would want to know how well they fit and ease of installation. I would suggest that part of the project is a video of the install by the recipient of the headers. That is a huge part of headers and IMO should be addressed.
Overall, I am interested in donating. Not to get a set of headers, because I already have a set of SD headers that I modified myself, so I don't need them. But I am interested in donating if it helps make a clear how-to on taking a cheap set of headers and making them great. But if Nick is only interested in making a couple random cuts and replicating the same 'quality' of headers, but not the same design, I'm out. If his intent is to basically create a How-to on how to replicate the headers same WBS sells and PWNED received, but only for much less, then I'm in and will donate.
Without getting into specifics, the headers will be higher quality when I'm done with them.
Both the fit and finish will be addressed.
Thanks for the reply.Quote:

But to donate to a project that is so very general that it leave potential to be a huge debacle, I'm out.
In general, most projects that people run and go out looking for money to fund them, a general plan is laid out ahead of time. A good startup businesses will write a business plan to get loans or investors. Research projects need to write a grant proposal to get funding. I hope that all goes well with this project. But at this point, I have not seen where the work is well thought out and thus I cannot help fund it. As mentioned if you want to PM me, we can chat about it. I'm a manufacturing engineer in the metal fabrication industry and I've done my own set of SD headers, so I may be able to help too.
The headers are going to the best fabricator in Connecticut.
I understand if you don't want in, that's fine.
TorcTite clamps came in today. Headers will be here on the 10th.

Also Killerspeed101 you need to post in here as well.
Thanks!
I love how you have convinced all these new people that you are creating something that is going to blow their minds. lol
It shouldn't blow anyone's mind. I'm simply showing people who are willing to take a couple small steps how to save 50% on their header purchase.
No one can ever ever have any fun no not never because it cost too much money........... Ha some people
new or not everyone here is capable of being an adult we made a decision to click on the link open and decide for ourselves that its a good cause. open up your own thread and see what you could actually contribute to the community.Quote:

And he did that the same way you convinced yourself that he's not doing something worthwhile...Quote:
