Cone Engineering Header Collector Kit
If anyone was ever interested in one of their kits I recently bought one and installed it on the cheap Cal-Speed headers I bought. The idea behind the kit is to add a merge collector with scavenger spikes followed by a transition cone. There apparently is a lot of science behind the entry angle of the primaries, length of collector, spikes and angle of transition cone. I'll leave that to the professionals. I simply ordered a 304 stainless kit to put on my headers. Its a straight forward process and thought I would show a few pictures of my results. I also added a ball/socket flange for easy installation. I do still have to weld in the o2 bungs but I am waiting to verify best fitment before I punch the hole.
If you have a few hours and some money to spare it might be worth it.
Pic 1 > Modified vs Un Modified header
Pic 2 > Scavenger Spikes welded on primaries
Pic 3 > Finished welding
Pic 4 > Real quick brush/polish of finished product

Thanks. It was nice to get paid to do it at work lol. We've had some downtime and I had the parts for a few months so I decided to get it done at an opportune time.
I have JBA shorties and a Jeg's off road Y right now so the truck should pick up power everywhere I would imagine. For right now I'll use the Y pipe on the 5.3 but when the LQ4 goes in I'm running true duals with an X pipe. All custom as well. That's a ways off but whenever I do that I'll post a thread and pics. For now all the money is going into my 08 Vette lol. Mast LS3 heads and a Cam Motion custom cam is on the way as we speak. Hoping to claim the #1 spot on the list. We shall see.
