Gearbanger unfortunatly im not the fabricator hahaha.
Here are 2 other pictures of the exaust.
witch we sins then took of, as it is 2mm(0.079 inch) thick and sins we are roadracing the car, we try to loose as mutch weight as we can.
so we just orderd 1,2 mm(0.043 inch) stainles steel.

The exaust wil be welded on bij a former BMW F1 exsaust specialist who till 2 ore 3 years ago did the F1 systems for them..

The Tri-y Headers wil defenatly need to show there potentional on this build. looking at the firering order of the pontiac engine and the 2 inch primary,s of the headers made me a beliver that you dont ""nesersarely"" need long tube headers on a High perf engine. primary size and colecter tube size can make it work, and save up lots of room . and in my case give me plenty of ground clearense .

I have a compleat exaust system and headers for a V8 star GT3 race car who have 700 hp LS7 engines build bij this F1 Exaust builder . i mentioning the small tube ""size"" of the headers and the exuast system (1.8 inch primarys!!!) and said those where to small .
he said we use diferend calculations in building systems. stil told him i whant a 3 inch exaust tho lol. his work is state of the art . 0.043 thickness and seamles welds!!!..PS picture of the is the diferense between ""Pipes Exaust"" and my custom welder(not the F1 welder)
