2.2 ecotec header template
Thursday, October 18, 2012 5:30 PM
Hi There:
Does anyone have - or know where I can get an exhaust flange template (basically traced on paper) for fabrication of a custom header?
I know that GM (and eBay) has the blanks, But I would like to get creative and fab the whole unit (I have access to a water-jet).
Thanks in advance for any help that can be given.

Thanks.
I know that they are available from GM, But I was wanting to fab one myself (as I have access to the equipment). You know, - and add my own touch to it.
I could pull my exhaust manifold off and use it for a template - but that would be redundant for me Pull it off, make template, put it back on, fab header, remove exhaust manifold, install header..........(daily driver right now).

Since I have access to the equipment - and am GM of a welding shop - I am going to design/build one in "slow motion" this winter. My aim is to buy/fab parts over the winter and install everything during the Spring break-up here (lasts about 4-6 weeks).
Thanks again
Albert

if your gonna be doing it yourself then just get a gasket, will have ports bolt holes, outer dimensions and etc.. you can adjust from there, and your gonna need to put a new gasket on for installation anyway right??


Have a nice day.

I have the flange and about 2" worth the runners I cut off my old Pacesetter that cracked that I could part with. I also have my whole Tsudo stainless header lying around taking up space. You pay shipping or arrainge a pick-up and they're yours.
