Header Art

[skip0110]

Any finely tuned gearhead appreciates the sculpture that is a nice set of headers. This thread is for posting such pictures.

Like these. The head pictured is from a BMW I6.

Keeping with the BMW theme, I vote for the new M5's pipes. Sure, in these press photos they are polished to look aces. But, either way, they're a sweet piece.

Opel Manta, eh? Well, I've never heard of it before, but that's the best looking one I've ever seen.

The engine is a LS1 with 8 Garret GT15 turbos. It is tuned for reliability, running 13.5 psi boost to produce 730 hp and 710 ft-lbs tq. Power is estimated to be 1000 hp at 18-20 psi.

It's not a Volvo

It's an Opel Manta with a Volvo plant in it. Homebuilt with both Turbo and Compressor producing some 578Bhp... Crazy stuff

"Enter in 1999 the Chris Allanson designed twin-engined beastie. The concept came from Chris’ multiple successes in grasstrack racing and was translated to kitcars initially using a Westfield as a testbed, and then an official hook-up with Tiger Racing. Before long the model became known as the Tiger Z100. The engines were installed in a kind of straight eight ‘north/south’ configuration and at first were based on Kawasaki ZX-9 although later switched to the more powerful, larger capacity ZX-12. Power output ranged from 280-350bhp and the thing was absolutely barnstorming.



One of the things that used to really impress people was that each engine could be fired up separately and Chris’ party trick on test drives was to lean across and suddenly ignite the second engine. The Z100 also had a pair of gearlevers and double instruments because both engines ran individually as mentioned. For sheer spectacle the twin-engined Tiger is hard to beat, especially with 680bhp per tonne! Price for the Z100 is around £30,000 once the engines are in place and the kit is built. www.tigerracing.co.uk [more specifically this site] for more info."
