Default My Custom Lexus V8 Exhaust

I thought I should go ahead and start a thread for my headers and exhaust. This is a pretty hot topic and I don't mind sharing. It's such a labor intensive process that I recommend anyone attempting this kind of work make friends with professionals in their area that do this type of work. I didn't do this all myself. There are much better TIG welders in my area that were happy to help out. I'm "ok" at welding but learning to do precision TIG welding on curved surfaces is just banging your head on the wall. So enjoy the pictures and I hope they give you some ideas on how to arrange your own exhaust system on your 1UZ-FE powered project.

I'll be posting pictures later. I have detailed pics of working on the headers to get them to wrap around the steering shaft and also to point downward from the collector in order to point down before the firewall. I'll also make sure to get some good video and sound of the music it will put out.
