USA Header!

[y2dgone]

I found a guy here in town willing to make a header for the Aveo. He said on the low side it'll be $150, high side $250. He needs the car for an afternoon (I guess going to be using my car) to make the header and see the spacing that needs to be done. The header will be 4-1 to retain a level of backpressure to help with the scavenger effect. I will persue this more after I get back from my trip. I figured I'd start a buzz about this and see what kind of response I get so I can let him know of the demand. And of course we'll dyno the car

Yeah!!!!!!!

I hope the quality is decent. $250 for a custom header is about 50% of what it should be. My guess: new fabricator that doesn't know what he's getting into, and doesn't realize he's undercharging. I expect to see low-grade aluminized steel and poor MIG welding. Be careful!

If it's quality, the price is right, and helps the low end, I'm in.

Trying to get the aveo up to a fun level for rally-X

Oh he knows what he's doing, he's had his own engine building shop for 15 years and has built a lot of his own parts for his car. His price is without any coatings though

There is a shop in a nearby town that I have do all my coatings (both powder and ceramic). I'll try to give them a call monday and find out how much extra that would be

woohoo! cant wait to see this!

I was just thinking, my car might not be a good test car. I'm thinking this because I have the stock cat removed and replaced it with a highflow cat mounted under the oil pan, so how he pipes mine won't be like other Aveo's are piped, unless everyone would want a highflow cat to go along with it! Of course that would jack up the price Or if someone wanted to come to Tulsa (or maybe I could find an Aveo rent-a-car for the weekend)
