Good work.
How hard was it to take the flanges off the cross over pipe without damaging the tubes at all? A friend building his own 16V engine has not been very successful with this so far.

Nice work Luke! Why did you retain the stock xover small pipe? The stock wg location / pipework is horrible and you would benefit a lot from a fresh one!
The rear flange was already cracked so it didn't take much to get that off, the front one the weld was super hard and it got a little chewed up by the die grinder. I've given it to a fabricator to weld because it's beyond my skill, hes going to clean it up and realign the flanges so it's not under so much tension when we put it back on.
It was a compromise to get the car running sooner. I do want to revisit the crossover but my fabricator is super busy. I'm also limited in what I can do with a RHD drive car around the headers/merge point.BasHenneman wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2024 9:51 am Nice work Luke! Why did you retain the stock xover small pipe?
