  • This was a really fun project to be involved in. Phil Morisson From Driftworks contacted me to ask if i'd be up for the challenge of fabrication a set of equal length headers, with the longest primaries physically possible. The answer was obviously yes!
    So watch me go through the process of the initial thoughts and ideas, right through to the painstaking cutting and welding. This was a hell of a job, around 100 hours work condensed right down to 40 minutes, but i'm sure you'll agree the end result and sound are soo worth it!!

    I know I told you a thousand times, but: Absolutely phenomenal work Adam! 😎. I still get a buzz out of any bit of driving I do in the car. Also, I know what it's like trying to film over long and tedious jobs, so once again hats off to you for capturing it all! See you soon bud.

    It's always great hearing a car you built an exhaust for. I did a set of pipes with a backbox delete to go on an E34 530i manual, using Fabco parts. That thing sounded amazing!! The owner came to my house so I could hear it after he fitted it, did a burn out off my neighbours drive as he got the wrong house 😂.
    Did an Opel Manta GTE with a 2.5" exhaust using Fabco bits too. That sounded amazing. Smidge on the loud side, but very nice!

    Great work and an amazing sound! What does the length of the header do to the sound? Did you compensate for the offset cylinder banks in the total length of the exhaust, as in having the forward bank's collector moved slightly back so that the exhaust length could be the same on both sides or is this even a thing?

    • @FabCoUK
      @FabCoUK  Год назад +1

      The longer length creates a more high pitched sound. They’re equal length both sides

    • @blindobserver
      @blindobserver Год назад

      @@FabCoUK Do you know why the sound is higher pitched with a longer pipe? Are the primaries equal length or is the whole header setup identical length left and right?

      @@FabCoUK I can find a lot of data for the contrary. For example in musical instruments a longer pipe means lower pitch.
