GB Feeler: 16v/20v headers

kameleon · 04-16-2008, 10:29 PM

We have been looking at producing a header for the 20v swap that will clear the stock starter location on the c50 and a/c compressor but yet bolt to the 20v head and 16v exhaust. When we looked at it, it dawned on us that the 16v people may want the same thing. That is no big deal. The questions I have for you guys and gals is this:

1. Would you like to see a 16v/20v header as described above.
2. If so what would be a fair price?

the only thing I foresee being an issue is the price of steel just doubled in the last few days. I planned on making it out of about 1/8" wall tubing and 1/2" thick flanges. This would be ideal for the 20v swap so you would not have to get a custom b-pipe made as this would bolt to the stock 16v exhaust. That means no driving the car with just the header to the exhaust shop.

What do you think?

YES PLEASE! A Coolant Line Kit would be awesome too, it would take the guess work out of routing and buying excess coolant hose. That's all I can think of right about now.

any update on this/these products plans or anything? i'd be glad to be a prototype tester :P

We are planning on doing some welding this weekend if all works out right. So we may have a prototype by Monday. For now we might do a mail order header modification service until we get the final setup on the full header.

BTW, got your order on the 20v AW11 line. We will be getting it out tomorrow morning.

I'm hoping for a better solution for the header issue haha, I don't want to have to buy a FWD 16v header when I have a perfectly good one on the engine as it is. I'm also hoping for that coolant line setup...or...maybe someone could just give me the measurements and what angle hoses to buy? that'd be a huge help too.
