My 83 300D
My 83 300D
Started with the exhaust manifold today.
Used mild steel with 38mm internal diameter and 42mm outer.
The pipes are cut and coned into about 35-36mm to match the flange/exhaust outlets in the head.
Tomorrow i will cut they a little shorter and start with the bends/the rest.
Here is a pic how it is right now.

Glad it made it and it's on the engine... well sort of. How did the box survive? I am always curious on how shipping folks treat boxes.
Looking for forward to seeing more progress. Again, great job so far!

Removed the battery from the engine compartment, i put it with the other battery in the trunk. Got a little better space in the engine compartment now...
Also started with the rest of the header, but did only runner 1 and 2 almost finnished. Both are 62.5cm long, all runners wil be around 75cm when they meet inside the collector.
Worked with the header som hours today.
But once again i used all the bends, i hope my dealer have received the last ones i ordered by monday.
All runners are 62cm +-2-3mm. Now only need bends to finnish cyl3,wastegate,egt bung and collector. Then my welder can weld it all togheter
Here are some pics
How did you go about mounting the driving/ fog lights to the front bumper? Did you drill directly into the bumper, or make a bar type thing?
Oh boy I hope you went with 3000, 4300, or 5000k bulbs.
It's a pita making a header for a 5cyl huh? I'm curious as to what you are doing for the collector. I was making a header for my t5 Volvo but that's being put off for awhile.

First time making a collector for 5cyl, so i thougt it maybe would be a challenge.
But will see when i start at it tommorrow, i have dreamed about it last night how i should make it hahaha

From what I've seen is people will do a 6-1 collector then use #6 for the waste gate.
Me and 4 buddies are currently moving to a new garage. We have drove 2 times with big semies full of parts,engines,tires and tools. And also moved all 13 cars and the dragster we had in the old garage.
We also have to make new wiring to the lights and heaters in the new garage, also try to get the ice/water out of the garage and seal the wall where it meets the concrete.
So there will be some weeks until i get to weld together the header, and continue with this car.
But i have received some new parts and waiting for more
Also installed this :
Please let me know how you got that rpm tach wired up.
Welded a wire on one of the three stator pins inside the alternator. The gauge is meant for alternator signal But the alternator on my car had a very small pulley/wheel. So i can calibrate it all the war down to where its should be in the rpm range. Gonna find another pulley and see how it works.
How dose that waste gate work?
It's just an external gate. A huge external gate.
(04-09-2011, 09:36 AM)BRABUS Done!
Only need to wrap the downpipe now.

Where dose the waste gate hook back in to the exhaust? I can see that it relives both sides of the divided exhaust housing but it has to dump back in the the exhaust some where?
Unless the wastegate has its own downpipe.
Sounds amazing bro.
Sounds great!!
