SVXfiles and myself and the only ones to make headers... They will rust over time but if they are painted properly it will postpone most corrosion for some time

Headers

Nice headers. They should compliment your supercharger quite nicely. I'm assuming these will be true dual exhausts with no cat? What kind of muffler? I'm assuming you will relocate the O2 sensors downstream of the collector fitting. Have you thought about welding in a bung for an EGT? It might help you when you are tuning your new rebuilt supercharged engine.

02 bungs are getting welded into the collectors and one more will be placed in for a wideband. EGT's can be tapped into the exhaust anywhere I want so if I decide to grab up some I will later

We made ours out of Aluminized tubing.
So the only place they should rust is the ground and welded places.
Mine are more than two years old with no sign of rusting.
1200F ceramic coating paint.
Real ceramic coating would be tons better, but you know, time and money.

+1, sell that set and you will have more than enough to do a set out of 16 gauge 304L

Tom, these look great! I too am wishing that you would be interested in building another set for my swap! How did you determine the overall length of the primaries? I know there are some programs out there.......at least I think I know.......Bowling and gripo have a ton of engine building calculators for different aspects of fabrication.

They look great though! I guess that meand the exhaust note wil be changing huh.......

+1!
