It's going to be awesome. Well worth the wait.

Are you going to put slip fittings or flex sections in there? If not I'm willing to bet it's going to crack. I've personally designed and sold thousands (that is not an exaggeration) of EJ boxer headers. I suggest slip fit sections!

You mean these

They are sitting on the shelf

Yah, no slip fit in this header? I'm curious why you made that decision!

It was the prototype so we built it before we had those in stock.

Cool

Might I also suggest a larger (wider) flange face? You might get leaks on the flange face with the current design. Probably not NA, but boosted when the upper manifold pressure is ~10psi or so it'll start blowing those gaskets out. We ended up with a wide flange face and 3 layer gaskets to solve that problem as well as slip fit sections. The slip fit sections always leaked when cold but sealed when hot. The flex sections we have had sheer off.

@JDLAutoDesign - I know you guys are busy with the twin scroll kit but hows the UEL header coming along?

JDLAutoDesign · 03-11-2013, 01:58 AM

Put on hold until after the shootout

xxscaxx · 03-11-2013, 10:42 AM

No problem - so i'm guessing next week it should get back into gear. Thanks for the update.

JDLAutoDesign · 03-11-2013, 11:31 AM

Yes we have it scheduled just really busy with getting the car ready
