Headers Thread

[peakin34]

nah its even with washers/spacers they still touch on weld n make it uneven, i asked guy at exhaust shop he said as long as there is pressure it should be alright, i would like to find out about gettin rid of all this platic intake n makin it just a metal pipe or some sort, anyone done it or have a idea how much it would cost?

[_bobo_]

still havent recieved my extractors

anyone know whats going on ???

[Eug]

beau, i chased it up with coby last friday - awaiting a response.

yourself and karl are the last two to receive them.

GTR.2NV also lives in Vic and has gotten his.

i'm not sure why you haven't, do you live a bit out of the city center?

karl lives over in WA so it might take slightly longer.

i'll keep you guys posted when i get a reply. in the meantime make sure the postman hasn't left a delivery ticket that someone has accidentally put aside/thrown out.

PM sent to both of you to re-confirm addresses.

Beau, there was an attempted delivery at your specified address on the 24/12/2007 at 13:47PM

Karl, yours was attempted on the 27/12/2007 at 11:44AM

please check if an 'attempted delivery receipt' was left asking you to pick up from your local post office.

you both have been PM'd with tracking numbers!

[Eug]

I see Karl has got his!

Beau, please call the number for Aust Post and track yours down!

Did they bother to leave you guys any delivery notices??

I'm sorry about the delay it was totally out of my hands.

Eug no need to worry no body blaims you for anything, you were only help

the excuse the post office gave me was they are trailing some sort of new ticket system??

i was like yeh what ever give me my pipes.

and they only just fit accross my back seat, was lucky didnt think they would..

so i shall take pictures of my process, should be on by tuesday

yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

[Eug]

new ticket system where they don't give you one hey!?

i'll leave some trading feedback for all you guys.

thanks for understanding karl.

this headers thing has turned into quite an expensive investment.

the initial price of $285 plus $170 for heat wrapping then $20 for some thermal paint then $250 to have the flange welded on and have them fitted...

i just hope they are worth it or i am going to grumble..

[_bobo_]

I went into the Local Aus post office and they didnt even have my tracking number in the book or any record of it under express delivery..i then said how there wasnt even a ticket left and the lady serving me thought this was quite strange especially ince i was home the day and time it was suppose to be delivered....

she gave me the number for customer service and they transferred me to someone and they found the details of my item but still didnt understand why its not at the post office or anything..the guy was very helpful and was going to investigate into the matter and track down the driver ect..he took down all my details and gave me a refference number and was going to call me back when he finds out anything.

thanks Eug for everything and yeah its not your fault Aus Post sucksss

..i just really hope they find my extractors.....

[Eug]

whaaat?! wierd, sorry beau

at least they're being tracked down.

[Hesh]

DAMN!!!!

im getting my extractors fitted, 3 flanges, 2.25" engine pipe and a bit of flex all for $120 from mettams mufflers in kelmscott

where did you (or where are you going) to get them fitted???

[_bobo_]

I got a call from AUs post today they found the package and sending it tomorro..they said it got lost or something as it didnt have a ESM barcode or something i cant remember..but yeah its on its way

[inthisglass]

im getting it done with Kirmit off these forums

hes making up the catback as well so thought may as well get him to do the whole thing..

i thought $250 to fit the extractors was pretty steep as i could do it myself..

but if the extractors change the length of the rest of the pipe i need my catback to fit.

and booking it into two different places is just a hassel..

(im the kind of person that wastes money when i dont need to)

[342Four]

okay cool

kermit does stainless only i think so that'll be sweet

[_bobo_]

i got mine delivered today

now time to get exhaust done

anyone reccomend any good places.

[GTS4WD]

I need to get off my lazy arse and

a)Take pics

b)Book the damn thing in

c) Take it there..

I dont have any excuses now my fixed back bucket is in.. gee that was a sl*t of a job!

[inthisglass]

ok everyone

so my extractors and new catback go on tomorrow

cant wait! im posting a few pics of my progress..

first half of heat wrapping done ^^

fully wrapped and painted in high temperature paint ^^

the paint i bought to seal the heat wrapping and hopefully create more heat protection ^^

after i was done wrapping and painting i had some heat wrap left over.

i remembered the "ghetto foil" idea for the induction pipe and decided that heat wrapping would probably be better and as i had some left i thought i'd try it.

WELL! i highly recommend heat wrapping your induction pipe!

i didnt think it would make much of a difference but i was wrong.

good investment imo.

anyway will let all know how they go afer they are fitted tomorrow

cheers

Karl
