Great video. You answered a number of my questions. Thank you!
glad to help
To add to what "S"said that "sugaring" is actually oxidation of the weld and in a matter of months you find the headers cracking from the inside out! When welding any form of stainless you must "Back purge" the weld! I also agree what was said about using a screen defuser when welding SS. You may consider talking about the primary tube lengths and trying to get them the same length. Finally you never talk about "Merge collectors" and the advantages of scavenge that they have. I will say you definitely have one impressive piece there with out a doubt!!
good insight
Knowledge shared, i think this is what internet should be... Many thanks
+El Alesito real thanks for watching!
Nice workmanship. 35 hours is good time. Nice buggy. Cheers.
Stay tuned as its time to build a new one
Yes Jake, using a tig torch & back purge would be purging from both sides.
+Frank Romeo ok
Awesome. Thanks For the Reply on the Engine set up!
anytime
Best vid I've seen on building custom headers. Thanks.
Jake knows his stuff
great vid!! you should back purge stainless, the sugaring left from no shielding gas on the back side of the weld will have the same effect as leaving the burrs from cuts.
+Sean Dale thanks
+Sean Dale Agreed! I just got a little lazy...
BustedKnuckleVideo and cause it to corrode much easier making the welds a lot weaker
nice video! i love tig welding exhuast. also great info on the collector welding.

Hey Jake! awesome video...I'm having a challenge looking for the right person to put together headers for my vehicle. Would you consider working on a project with a 2016 Maserati Granturimo MC 4.7 Ltr?
we only work on rock bouncers sorry
Thanks, they came out fantastic, Awesome Job !!!
+Ma Roder more to come!
this is a good shop series
+cyanidetube thanks
Someone asked about 321 SS that is what you may want to use for building a turbo system due to the higher temps seen with those exhaust systems.
good call
Awesome vid on headers!!! I make exhaust on my little go kart engines on my channel but usually nothing that intense but I do make my own mufflers too. I even got my own muffler design I use. Maybe a vid on different muffler designs for different apps would be a good vid. or maybe make your own muffler be cool too. Good tip also would be to use string or a couple bread ties to make that line around the tubing square on a bend in case you have to free hand a cut with a hand grinder.
+prancstaman thanks good tip
Also your vid is very good things are broke down nicely easy to follow
Jake knows his stuff
Would like to see engine builds or mods for rock bouncing.
This is going to help me do my exhaust for my flat twin engine...
Awesome!
Great video!
Back purging the stainless will go a LONG way toward stopping cracks from forming!
Gret welders can weld a set of headers without doing this, but if you are watching this video.....Just sayin'!
👊
@
Smokin07ram
you back purge to eliminate carbide precipitation (sugaring) and the best welders will tell you stainless HAS to be back purged if full penetration is gonna be achieved and yes, even good welders watch youtube videos just to see how other guys are doing things
great video. Im new in this stuff, but I really like the fabrication process, where can I learn more about it? Could you explain how the chassis were built? CAD then jigs?
From a guy in Brazil
+cabrauzimm stay tuned. these chassis are built by hand one piece of tube at a time, there are no drawings or cad files. just a bender, welder, and a pile of tubing
Super great video again! You guys are killing it!!
+crazyzx9rguy thanks more on the way
I have a problem if u say that the top bolt on a transmission would give u center .on a jeep wrangler when u put two two hundred pound people in it than your balance point changes so don't u weight your jeep with the person in the jeep . I'm trying to keep my gasstank under the jeep I bought a larg Dana 44. I had to move the resend forward for it to fit . What I want to now is they are show u 2 ujuint for the Engel on drive shaft .I want to put my transmission to it stock position . I have a 4in lift on a on jeep if u can heip
in the grand scheme of things passengers aren't typically taken into account.
Hi, great video. First question is why do you use lanthiolated rather 2% Thoriated tungsten ? Worried about radiation when grinding tungsten.Also why not back purge tubes when welding, it would weld better., have you ever used a mini tig torch equipped with a bigger diameter gas lens allowing for more stick out of tungsten. This is just a friendly opinion from my career of being a union pipe welder .
+Frank Romeo I like lanthanated tungsten simply because i can jump from aluminum to steel and stainless without having to change tungsten. Yes, i actually use gas lenses a lot, but i went for a #7 cup because of how tight everything was. Technically you should purge both sides of stainless before welding but i wasnt getting full pen welds and diddnt have any sugar on the inside. Thanks for the reply!
Very cool, nice work!
Jake knows his stuff
is this open headers do and back pressure better than full exhaust?
Not much back pressure with straight headers, they do that to package it easier on a rock bouncer
Back pressure bad, scavenging good.
Might want to try a smaller torch!
why would we want to do that?
Thank You For Your Video !!!
glad it helped
great video😊 cant wait to make one👌
sweet!
how do you know where the first, second, third tube go in the collector when you start building the first tube?
You try to just keep a the exhaust tubes the same length
Awesome Video Jake! How do you get the Engine's in the frame? They look like they're all enclosed somehow. But I know different!
The engine cage un bolts and the motor is pulled out the top
Thank you for the video
+Tony Briley thanks for watching
Why not polish the tubes before you weld them together, and then polish the welds after.
plenty of ways to do it
How bad do you think a true dual 4 cylinder header would be to make? As well as the sound I'm thinking true dual, small pipes with an x pipe. Mild steel. And do you make your header flange or do you buy?
True dual on a 4 Cylinder? I would just carry it all out one pipe since they are inline. I would say just buy a flange
@@BustedKnuckleVideo I figured... mostly just looking for something kinda stupid
@@BustedKnuckleVideo any suggestion on where to look for flanges?
I'm making plans to fab some headers for my Evo 8 (4G63T)
Any Tips or Info you can share would be Awesome!!!
This video pretty much says it all
nice video thanks for the tips
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video.
+Eddie Rodriguez more to come
Thank you
Great vid brah!
+Ronnie Godfrey thanks
Awesome vid peace
+smash so much to learn
what kind of polish/technique do you use to polish stainless steel?
+rampage577 Good Queston Ill forward it on to Burkey.
Tried using a Dremel for the tight spot polishing?
that would be a good option
thank you
glad to help
why do you want the tubes to be the same length? I've heard of cars with unequal headers before.
you want there to be equal exhaust pressure on each cylinder
In need of help! Watching your vid and others all tell me i need all kinds of tools i will only use once and are $100s each... So not a buggy or cart but a scooter trike i been building/modding my trike has a wide frame with the motor in the middle tocked away making any bolt on options not work.. Looking into building my own from the nothing i know about building my header pipe my cheapest and easiest option is flex pipe, tape, and header kits no bending only cut and weld.. I hope im not right and you can tell me a simple way to bend a header pipe lol or confirm my idea of a kit.. Thank yous
Needs to be done right
Can someone listen between 1:25 untill around 1:40 did he mean galvanised not stainless for the first one. This is messing with my head
+Martyn yes he meant galvanized which Is a zinc coating to steel or sometimes iron
I was thinking the same thing, and judging by the fact that a coating will not burn off of stainless, I assume he did mean galvanized
+Martyn Sir, i was talking about ceramic coating mild steel headers after fabrication. Pretty much any coating will become dull and fail in an offroad situation. Also, i screwed up when i said "dont use stainless steel" i meant "dont use stainless steel wool". I tried steel wool after my ceramic coating started to get dull and it ruined the ceramic.
ahh right i understand :) keep up the good work man!
Do you have an affordable source for header flanges and collectors? I can’t afford $300 collectors from Vibram
we cut our own flanges now.
love the vid!!!!!
+scaffoldawg thanks
good vid
+EZOVERDOSE thanks
dont use stainless steal because it will take the coating off and go back to bare metal....I realized stainless steel is the way to go???????
we use stainless it just takes more effort when welding
Where are you buying your header kits
there are tons of online retailers that have them
So use stainless unless you're ok with it looking like shit?
pretty much.
What about 316 or 321 stainless
that would work and have a cool blueing affect with heat
Are you using Schedule 40?
no.
Way to answer lol what material are you using?
@@nicholausstraach458 lololol. I was looking for this. Sadly we didn't get an answer. Looks like .065 thickness to me. Not sure about OD though.
Your hired
Bring it to the shop and we can knock it out
WTF I GOT A FUCKING AD 20 SECONDS INTO THE VIDOE AND A AD EVERY MINUTE
really? That aint right
BustedKnuckleVideo that's how I fucking feel I was pissed it was a good vidoe but to many fucking ads!
Aidan Nina I had one at the end and that's it
Well you're so busy trying to make money off your video that I can't even watch it.
what are you talking about?
