C5 Z06 180 degree header build thread

[STEVE-O]

Pipe organs in the most ornate churches have nothing on these headers.

 

Are you going to do a "reveal party"? Have it on a lift so people can see the beauty of those pipes, then at a scheduled time fire up the car to treat guests with a cacophony of LS-derived exhaust notes plumbed through titanium tubes expertly and intricately formed from a master craftsman with talent blessed upon him from the gods?

 

Sounds like a great treat for dyno day

Lol. I don't know about a party but,

I'm looking forward to hearing them under load on Brian's dyno and seeing how they fair power wise against off the shelf headers. I'm guessing and hoping for similar peak numbers and a slight increase in mid range torque.

Also hope this is not a obvious answer but would can overlap effect the sound also and have it not pulse the same exiting the exhaust?

Cam overlap would effect the sound just as it would in any exhaust. But it does not effect the pulses in the exhaust, it does allow the pulses of the exhaust to scavenge a larger intake charge. This is why I'm hoping to see an increase in mid range torque. The primaries length and even firing through the collectors should help in the scavenging. Unfortunately, the LS6 camshaft has a ridiculous lobe separation angle making for little overlap. At some point I would like to have a cam with similar lobe profiles to the LS6 cam but ground on a 112 degree lobe separation angle instead of the 117.5 of the LS6.

Hmmm, interesting. I'd love to hear that in person, planning on maybe a cars and coffee at some point.

Most likely. I also plan to bring it to the upcoming dyno day.

LOL that thing sounds crazy. I love it. I love that it's got that uncorked Italian V8 rip, with the downward popping as the revs fall of the LS. So distinctive.

 

Congratulations, Matt! I hope to hear and see it in person at Dyno Tune...

[Tinman]

 

Best compliment ever.

Thanks! As long as i don't get stupid and let well enough alone, you shall.

[JaronsToy]

Love the sound great job !

[C-Mart]

I said it before, but I would kill to have this on my M3.

[vonrottes]

SWEET MOTHER OF ALL THINGS HOLY!

That sounds amazing!

 

Wanna tackle making a set of 180 headers for an ls-swapped s10

loljkjkjk

No waaaayyyyy, how's a corvette can make that sound? That's pretty awesome

[zeitgeist57]

Matt, everyone's saying what they think...

 

What do YOU think? Do you like it, was it worth the effort?

I'm quite happy with the results, most definitely worth the effort. I still plan to play around with different mid pipe designs, have four others in mind, and will either do the bypass mod on the mufflers or make my own. It's still a bit too quiet. The one thing that does bother me is the little bit of rasp just North of 2000rpm when going through the gears in normal driving conditions. But when the fun pedal is in the proper half of it's travel, all is bliss.

Its like the sound clip is photochopped LOL.

 

Please post a 1-3 WOT clip. PLEASE

[2 Sweet]

Hell yeah

[everlight44]

Nice! Well done

[xlr8tn]

damn....that sounds great. The only thing that rivals the sound is the craftsmanship that went into them.

[Mojoe]

Glad to see it all come together, Matt. I hope you are please with it. Let me know when you head to Cars and Coffee, we can grab Clark and all roll out together.

Matt, you're the man.

[coltboostin]

So even though I'm sure I have no fabrication skills, how mad would you be if these were copied? If this sounds like I think it will........I mean I know you said making more of these would be a slim chance in hell.

 

 

Think you could pull this off? Good fucking luck.

Have at it :dumb:

 

 

 

Corrected for accuracy

[C-Mart]

Could this be doable/easier with turbo headers?
