This. If you can figure out a way to weld aluminum to steel then you are going to be a very rich man.

psh... JB Weld ftw. Easily mates any surface anytime with the world's strongest bond. You bet your ass my header's welded on.

I have never, EVER, seen someone weld the headers to the head.

Also, since our heads are aluminum and headers are not, welding isn't an option.

i have a guilty pleasure reading this thread, i'm addicted as i keep on hitting f5 like every 10 mins. but this has got to stop, i am at work and trying to hold on from falling onto floor rolling and laughing is getting harder and harder.

@Frsexxxy if this thread is not for fun and you are serious, you have got to do a lot of reading. people on this forum do expect you to know basics, the more so since you are doing any kind of mods. and if you don't, pls RTFW (W => web, aka internet)

Worlds first rotating exhaust?

Justin.b · 06-26-2013, 01:57 PM

I actually just crawled under my FR-S and my header is welded to the heads from the factory. I wasn't expecting that.

If I want to upgrade, will I just have to weld the new pipes onto the ones already welded to my heads?
