My hot side parts were just dropped off with Specialized Performance Coatings in Dallas. Should be back next Fri then should be driving again a week after that......fingers crossed!

ToddB · 03-28-2014, 05:10 PM

Wow they look good. Cant wait to see it done.

Towlie · 03-28-2014, 06:16 PM

Those exhaust headers are sick!! May I ask who fabricated them?

BullF-16 · 03-28-2014, 06:43 PM

They are a bastardized combo of ARH shorties with custom fabricated big ass flanges for the rest of the hot side.

They will be fabulous after the 2000deg coating from SPC coatings

SNL Performance is knocking this one out of the old ball park!

Looks like your getting close...I would weld a brace or two on those headers before they get coated. That's a lot of weight hanging on those headers.

Thanks, i have thought about that. We'll see what my shop thinks. Though they have done a few identical setups. My concern is long term high cycle fatigue and cracks on the welds.

I am in good hands though.

It can't hurt and it surely needs braces since the headers are not built to hold the turbos....Looking forward to your results!

Just got back from Arlington. Picked up all the hot side parts you see in the pics in the OP. We also decided to coat the FMIC to intake pipes to isolate the intake charge from underhood temps.

Install starts Monday and final fabrication of compressors to FMIC will be completed. Hope to be on the dyno and tuned by end of the week....

I really hate big citys!!!!!!!!!!! I drive to and from work and encounter 2 traffic lights up here in Wichita Falls. It took me an hour to travel 1.7 miles on Loop 820 in Ft Worth. How do you big city people stay sane?

You drove on 820 in Ft Worth? That was your first mistake. Take the side roads next time.
