136903, LTH Posted by bullettdsm, Jun-09-12 07:30 AM
Kinda hate to post this up because its been taking so goddamn long to accumulate parts for (and I still got lots more work to do), but I figured I'd throw this up here so you guys would know I'm at least doing SOMETHING
The first pic is of the jig I made so those who were bending the tubes could have something to work with (I guess it was too complicated for them to work off the old header). I obviously used my old LTH to generate the conflict points of for the header. It literally took them at least 4 months to bend those few tubes......

Lots O' lots more work to do, but at least I now have control.

Looks good. I dont get how it took them 4 months for that progress, your shop sounds either like they are dumb asses or it was super low priority.

Yeah, its a buddy in the machining industry who runs the parent company of the people who did it. He offered so I said sure thing. Unfortunately, the smaller company talked a good game, but couldn't produce. It took my buddy to go in there and put down the hammer to make them finally do the job.
Very frustrating on what I consider to be a pretty simple job. For awhile, all they could produce was excuses........

Well, progress isn't really quick, but at least I have all the product so I will have progress. Still plenty to do but here's the next step;

Nice work! Just do it right and use a Neon head, less bends to worry about ;)

Bah, boogers to you I say, lol. Yeah, rub it in about how the Neon has the correct flow ;)
But thanks for bringing this back up Xionation; here's the update. I currently have it in my daily which is running 12.5 comp on the stock ECU. Here's a quick vid of it in the car;
I tried to get that company to make three more sets so I could share. That didn't happen. They wouldn't get back to me. I just don't understand some companies nowadays. I'm here with cash on an order they already have specs on (hell, I even made the goddamn jig for them) and they won't get back to me.
Just "shake your head" frustrating.
