So i finally got around to fabbing up the custom header for my 2 to 1 exhaust I want to run on this bike. I cut a piece of stainless piping from a LO down pipe I had off a wrx. It has an 02 bung on it which may prove helpful down the road if and when I convert to Fuel injection on this guy. It was kinda a tricky thing to do. I used the stock header pipes cut them at an angle so they would meet then added the down pipe to exit where I wanted. Tac welded the bits to where I wanted them and then made a few welds to hold the pipe in place... ONce the exhaust was set I pulled it off the bike and finished welding.
With it off the bike I was able to weld the pipe completely together... Man I hate my booger welds (yes go ahead tell me how much it sucks) But it's fabbed together, solid and secure. I'll be wrapping the header pipe and I need to decide what type of exhaust I want to run... I have a little more welding to get it to my liking then the exhaust wrap will go on and she will be put back on the bike!!!
Nice to see it together! I was pretty impressed with my self...
I also wired in the ignition circuit and will be installing the rest of the harness tomorrow. I also am ordering brand new tires front and rear, a new tail light assembly and a new stainless brake line for the front. Hoping to have her back on the road by next weekend!!!
Thanks for you indulgence!
