January 13, 2008 - Back to the header.
Now that the #4 tube is stuck together, it's time to try it in the car. I started with a die grinder to cut the remaining stub of the original header out of the flange, and discovered that this was going to be both long and noisy. Especially with my poor bits. So I grabbed the plasma cutter and cut it out that way. Much more satisfying.
The hole was cut with a taper to make it easier to force the pipe in to place. This picture was taken before a bit of cleanup with the die grinder.
