I Built a Set of 180 Degree Headers for the Perfect Sound

kerbal space program music XD

How much extra heat does it make with all that extra pipe?

I like the first one lol

How do you work out when peak scavenging will be?

You gong have to do more than that to a small block to get in the10s!!!😂. I love you brother!! And I'm showers You can do it

lt engine is 18436572 were you mistaken and because that looked like n ls maybe you cornfused the latter and former fire orders? i like the indepth description of your headers. on the it engines the whole equal length thing was evaluated and i do see the use of the impulse to help charge the next cyl. thats why i stoped by for a view even with 40 some years of engine building and a little experience with small block chevy....i think chrysler too used that on the 318 ....but these are no longer in production and prob why your unfamiliar with the order

It’s all sound but less power. That’s why they are rarely used.

Sounds awesome, makes power, BUT it l ooks like it will heat up the bottom of the oil pan/engine significantly. Not good for anything other than a full time drag car. Bummer.

VERY INTERESTING but r u goin to incorporate some new motor mounts on the plate engine mount thing cuz NVH will be crazy on a solid mount wont it?

What about heat from the primaries crossing under the oil pan?

That sounds horrible! It reminds me of the new ZO6 which also sounds like crap. The perfect sounding flat plane V8 is found in the Shelby GT350 with its 5.2l Voodoo engine.

Casually plays ksp music in bg. 😏🤌

Isn’t this just called equal length headers? Could’ve solved a whole lot of explaining.

Pro and con list...
Both sides of which are examples of a shitty engineers decision path.

Not too worried about boiling the oil?

This is the hard way. You can achieve a nearly identical sound by replacing your y-pipe with an x-pipe into a true-dual exhaust, meaning that out of the x-pipe are two separate pipes that dump wherever you will be dumping the exhaust. The x-pipe + true duals will also help with high RPM HP production. Another option is the h-pipe + true dual pipes, which will retain the "classic" V8 sound, boosting lower frequencies and improving low-end performance. If you primarily use your car for cruising then the H-pipe is the smarter option unless you really want your V8 to sound italian.

What if you tried duel exhaust and a x pipe?

Awesome work very cool but I disagree. The sound is awful.

Looks great ✅sounds great✅active heating for your sump and oil✅ On a serious note, would that have any negative impact?

Isn't this also why a 60-degree v8, like the volvo 4.4 or sho 3.4 and others have a different sound

I was hoping for 180 turbo headers with twin scroll turbos. 😂

Thats not a 180 degree header exactly.
Tube length is off a little.

I ran that semi 180 header style on my 1987 Corvette decades ago. It wasnt connected to the other side like yours. It was a 4 into 2 into 1 then the 2 sides connected to a single 3 inch pipe.

It sounded more like the bug.

But they tied it to a close by cylinder on the same side rather than the opposite cylinder.

I guess they used the pipe length to match pulses. Pretty trick stuff.

It was made by Ed Hamburger ( no kidding) SLP engineering in Tom's River NJ I think. It was called the 4 into 2 into 1 stainless steel header kit.

The Canadian NASCAR unlimited modifieds would come down from Canada and treated the crowd to 20 or more of those 180 cars with over the back exact length 180 headers.
The magnetos where right next to the pipes. Before crankmtriggeting. .???

Odd they thought of headers but not crank triggering evolution I guess.

It was the most wild sounding 350 engines ever. Everyone would fill the stands that night.

Listen up dying racetracks

Small block ford sounds like that with and xpipe and rpm .

Thanks, but no thanks. I don't want my 302 to sound like an angry Civic!

180° Headers male more power!
It's what I call Free HP, nog that building a set isn't expensive, they are but they make power through making your engine more efficient,most power adders have a trade off, big cam, low vacuum and no lower dnd power etc etc almost all power adders cost fuel.milage, Not 180° headers or anything makes engine more efficient and these make an engine considerably more efficient. Remember Pantera DeTomoso's? They had the highest HP small block ever built, the 351 Cleveland but the Pantera also had 180° headers and I read way back 50 years ago they added 22 HP plus, an exotic car sounded exotic.
My dad's friend had One I rode in many times, that mid engine winding up.was glorious!
Anyway, a super simple way to explain it is it almost does exactly what a 180° crank does, have you heard the Ford 5.2? Same Sound but you can do that on a 90° engine without the super high buck crank

Am I the only one who thinks the first V8 sounded better? The second one sounded more like a 87 Honda Civic with an exhaust leak... Hard pass for me... 🤭🤣

I'm surprised by hearing the Gymnopedies.. i use them as an alarm tone.. all the rest of the video is cool as f*

I built some 360° headers for my Honda civic, but I decided just to leave them off so my neighbors know when I get home.

dat satie though kreygasm

You sure your dad didn't pop out a young buck called pudding... He genuinely looks like an older version of him from the Puddings Fab Shop 😎

Totally Tubular Dude lmfao

Many positives but the amount of extra heat spread over and around the engine especially the sump could well negate any benefits?

Forget the turbo. Leave the exhaust alone. Go centrifugal or roots style blower. Don't forget to gap the rings and slightly lower the compression. 🎉

Also looks like a great deal of heat directly under your oil pan which I’m sure does not help anything with the longevity or reliability of your engine.

Ksr has a burnout car that has these. Sounds wicked as! Ls at 8000rpm out the bonnet

Lot of work to make a V8 sound like a Civic "Fart pipe".....Whatever......

talking about the GT40 you could do somthing simular in any car BUT it would mean modifying the fire wall and the pasanger loosing foot room

WTH is with you guys .......Intentionally for Clicks or what ?? .....Gasser "Stoogebakers" is Weird enough but Why make the Classic Great American V8 sound like a jacked up Import.......The "180 degree" Plumber's nightmare is Stupid......

Love the Kerbal Space Program background music lmao

Nope, if i wanted my growling V8 to sound like limp sounding eurotrash i would buy a fiat.

I didn't know 180 degree headers made such a difference on the sound. Without the Y pipe it sounded exactly like 2-4 cylinders like you said.

If you want good sound in a car, forget making expensive hard to fit exhausts where the sound is only fully appreciated outside the car or in a tunnel and concentrate on the induction that’s what Yamaha did with the LFA. Also of note is Mazda’s rotary Le Man’s car that has variable length intake trumpets, that’s what you should work on, not a mess of pipes that you can barely fit in the car and are not Street legal

Standard headers sound better. 180 sounds like a flat plane engine, like junk.

Ford made headers to make a flat plane v8 sound like a crossplane. You did the exact opposite! 😄

It would way easier to do on a hot V configuration

Ewwwwwww I like the American muscle sound. That high pitched weeeeeeeeeeeeener is so horrible sounding

liked the first sound turned off video.
