6.2L LS Equal Length Headers with NASCAR Tri Y Collectors! Equal vs Unequal (Science of Sound Pt2)

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The project begins with an introduction to the goal: creating equal length headers for an LS engine to improve sound and performance. The creator emphasizes repurposing old headers and existing pipe materials to demonstrate that custom fabrication is achievable without expensive kits. He shows the initial setup where original header pipes have been cut off, leaving just the flange attached to the engine.

Goal: Understand the project goal and assess the starting point with existing header components.

Tools and materials

LS Engine General Motors — The engine to which the headers will be fitted
Old Headers — To be cut and repurposed for the new equal length headers

this video is brought to you by ag1 by athletic greens the Quest for equal length headers and a better sounding LS engine has begun or continues cuz I've been working on these already but I kind of don't film every single thing I'm doing because you have to do a lot if you ever built headers before it is a pain in the butt you cut a tube you know four or five different times and then you got to move this till it fits you need six hands to do everything show you where I got started here I have cut out every single pipe of the original flange and ground them out so I can reuse that flange from the original headers and I have the number one cylinder tacked up to be the straightest shortest possible length to The Collector which is a fixed to the the triy section and the mlar x pipe underneath these darker pieces are cut up pieces from the original header that I chopped apart and the newer stuff down there is 2 in I had laying around from Wolf aircraft and it's made out of a couple different sections because none of the bends I have have long legs on them I kind of have to piece stuff together all I have are just these these ends like this I didn't buy anything to be able to do this uh partly because I just wanted to show that you could do it yourself if you have the guts to cut up your old set of headers you can repurpose it you know got to buy a you know a $1,500 header kit if you don't want to uh could have it would have been easier to start from scratch this isn't the purpose of this and I didn't want to wait and what would I do with those headers anyway after I made new ones nothing sell them they're not worth really that much so whatever we'll repurpose them and now they'll be stepped just like these Dodge hiders are I don't know if that's going to change
