GB: 5sfe headers...PICS and VIDS ON PAGE 3, UPDATE ON LAST PAGE...you guys wanna start this up again? Options

[pimped6gen]

UPDATE ON THE LAST PAGE....

Hey guys I got it in! My car IS 100% completed. The header is a 4-1 design. The header is colored black and only requires modification to the length of the 02 sensors. Everything else bolts right up.

The pricing will be as follows--
1-9 people -215 shipped. Colored with black paint, and all gaskets
10-20 people -205 shipped. Colored with black paint, and all gaskets
I can do the whole system back to the cat, but just pm me if your intersted.

I got the header in, car runs great and pulls strong.

PICS and VIDS on page 3.

Send the money to jcamp13@comcast.net through paypal.
I would appreciate 3% added onto the final price, b/c once again, Im not making any money on this!
Thanks!

We'll end the name taking on Saturday July 15th
4-1 Header, All gaskets included
Only thing you'll need are 3 bolts,a spacer if needed, and wires to make your o2 sensors longer.
Any exhaust shop will be able to do this and should have the wire, and accesories on hand!

I would think the purpose of the 2nd O2 sensor is to read a change in exhaust gases, being that the OBDII is more strict on emissions, etc... otherwise it may throw a check engine light....

I would be interested in this header if you made it work for the 96+... it would be interesting to make it with a highflow catalytic in place of the stock odd shaped primary catalytic...

Either way, please keep us posted if you can make them work on the 96+...

Just my .02 cents...

Ok GUYS...UPDATE...

I went today and saw the completed header. Again, I will post pictures this coming Friday of it installed (from the top and of the undercarriage). This is how it is going to work...There will be a bung hole for the top o2 sensor...the second sensor for what I believe is the catalytic converter will be non existent. This is the easiest and most feasible way to go about it. I have talked to two other mechanics (a diagnostic service center and a header fabrication center). They both said that splicing the second cat sensor off the stock header into the cat a little below that one will not be a problem or throw an engine light at all. Again, I will make 100% sure that it won’t throw an engine light before I sell them to you because I will soon have it installed. How this will be done is obviously splicing the wire right above the 2nd sensor and run an extended wire to the 3rd sensor. Basically this will be tricking your motor to sense the same reading as your 3rd sensor.

The header will be heat coated with the color of your choice. Also, all gaskets will be included. Although, if you want the header to be ceramic coated that WILL be an additional cost. The heat coating may over a long period of time begin to flake (i'm just basically not guaranteeing that it will hold up for the life of the car, just so I don't have any unsatisfied customers). The only 100% sure way that you will be able to have no flaking for the life of the car is by ceramic coating, which again will cost a little extra (price specified in first post).

The best route that I think you should take is heat wrapping your header instead of ceramic coating unless you want your header a certain color. I personally am going to get mine heat coated (which they all come with the base price) plus with header wrap. From the bottom of the header I will be replacing the stock downpipe/flexpipe with an aftermarket piping equivalent to my 2.5 inch exhaust, and also be using a magnaflow catalytic converter to replace the cat where my 2nd and 3rd sensor will be now. This can be sold as a complete kit...Header, Downpipe, Flexpipe into a Magnaflow cat, which will then lead into a catback exhaust. THis will obviuolsy be a little more expensive due to the price of the piping from the header to the cat and the price of the cat. Or you can not take the cat and have one of your choice. This header will have a few different options to what can be added, upon your request.

All of these prices will be determined this Friday, but will be pretty close to the estimate I gave you from the beginning (in the first post).

The header will be a 4-1 design. The 4-2-1 was too difficult to complete. With our cars the difference between the 4-1 and 4-2-1 will not be significant, now in a v6 car where you have header(s) there is a difference.

So, all in all the headers will be a 4-1 design, allow the first bung hole to be available, and the second one in 96-99’s will have the wires (and everything needed) to professionally connect and run the wire from the 2nd sensor to the third.
Because of this, the header will be available for the 94-99 year GT's. The 94-95 guys will have no problem; this will be a direct bolt on. For the 96-99 guys you will simply need to follow my instructions concerning the wiring, and I will be testing this to make sure you do not throw any engine codes.

The header welds will be VERY strong, I am telling you this for the people that want to run nitrous (such as myself). You WILL NOT have to re-enforce your welds or worry about it during the use of nitrous. Although, I will be checking periodically just to be as careful as possible, but again, is not needed.

I don't understand why but my car is a 95 but has 2 sensors as shown in the picture above. So, if someone could please post a picture of the 94-95 header I would appreciate it... Just to make sure that the 94-95’s only has one sensor. I always wondered about my car? It is a 95 GT with a 5sfe but has 2 sensors and has a hood that said it was from a 1.8 liter ST???
Maybe with the picture of the 94-95 stock header I will be able to better know what is going on with my 5sfe and car!!
Thanks!
