Porsche 992 GT3 Equal Length Long Tube Header Fabrication!

- This was a really fun project to be involved in. Phil Morisson From Driftworks contacted me to ask if i'd be up for the challenge of fabrication a set of equal length headers, with the longest primaries physically possible. The answer was obviously yes!
So watch me go through the process of the initial thoughts and ideas, right through to the painstaking cutting and welding. This was a hell of a job, around 100 hours work condensed right down to 40 minutes, but i'm sure you'll agree the end result and sound are soo worth it!!
This was one hell of a job to do & film at the same time, but hopefully it makes for some good viewing. Thanks🤘🏻
Awesome
incredible works Mate!
emailed you about e36 m3 custom headers..super excited to hear from you!
I know I told you a thousand times, but: Absolutely phenomenal work Adam! 😎. I still get a buzz out of any bit of driving I do in the car. Also, I know what it's like trying to film over long and tedious jobs, so once again hats off to you for capturing it all! See you soon bud.
Phil
Thanks Phil, much appreciated ✌🏻
Excellent, not only the lovely exhaust, but a very well executed explanation of the construction and well recorded and edited. I especially liked the cone building. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Work of art mate👏
Thanks Matt!
like watching a fine artist at work!!
This is the greatest video on the internet.
Great job filming and documenting it Adam. I struggle to even get a few decent pics most of the time so I can appreciate just how much. Work goes into such a comprehensive video
Thanks Dave. Definitely added a few hours on that’s for sure!
Definitely interesting, i love watching people problem solve when they fsbricate, I guess the cherry on the cake is how happy Phil is with the end result, well done!
Thanks for watching!
Wasn’t sure that 40 minutes of tube work would be entertaining - but it was absolutely brilliant and the quality of the workmanship was outstanding. Love your work! 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great job!!! And by the way, love your presentation/explanation of process and the reasoning that informs it!!! Thank you.
Thanks!
👍👍👍😎👍👍👍
Hoping you and Jonny get together with the RetroPower boys and do some collaboration videos 👍
Stunning work
Many thanks!
Thanks for taking the time and effort of filming the process - you did a brilliant job of both the fabrication and recording Adam!
Thank you very much!
Nicely done 👍
What a lovely sound
What a sound
Top job and sounds awesome. 👍👍
Incredible job.
Thanks!
Absolutely riveting. Wow. Brilliant.
Thanks🤘🏻
I am simply in awe. It looks like a Formula 1 system and sounds nearly as good as my Skoda.
Mat Armstrong needs one of these headers.
It's always great hearing a car you built an exhaust for. I did a set of pipes with a backbox delete to go on an E34 530i manual, using Fabco parts. That thing sounded amazing!! The owner came to my house so I could hear it after he fitted it, did a burn out off my neighbours drive as he got the wrong house 😂.
Did an Opel Manta GTE with a 2.5" exhaust using Fabco bits too. That sounded amazing. Smidge on the loud side, but very nice!
Awesome
Excellent job mate. Awesome sound!
Thanks a lot!
What a fantastic job you did. Oh the sound!! Just epic 🥰
Thank you! 🤗
Was waiting for this.
Superb! Love it mate, blinding craftsmanship as always. It's such a pleasure watching you work.
Thank you very much!
What an incredible well done job there, getting it all fitted and welded.. 💯%👍👍🇩🇰
What a cracking job looks and sounds awesome
Thanks!
Outstanding professionalism and skill. I loved watching this. Class act!! Awesome work Adam!
Glad you enjoyed it!
@10:37 that’s why you need to keep a journal 🥁
Another lovely job Adam!! Well done mate!👍👍
Thanks 👍
Great job, from plan to finish Adam!!! Unbelievable sound!!!
Thanks a lot!
You’ve got incredible talent,keep up the top work
Thank you! Will do!
👌👌👌👌👌👌👌it sounds amazing just like an extremely quick motorbike 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
So impressed.. amazing engineering skills . you are so talented mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Some challenge, beautifully executed.
Thank you very much!
Fantastic work, the end result must be so satisfying.
It was!
What a great video, thoroughly enjoyed watching it, fantastic workmanship.👍🤩
Thanks 👍
Sculpture in metal fantastic job .
Thanks 😊
Incredible work as always mate! 👌🏻
Thanks a ton!
that was awsome mate 💪🏻 i’ve just finished fabricating a lorry hx35 twin scroll turbo full exhuast front to back on my 1987 944 turbo ,.. major surgery thousands of labour hours on my back in the garage ,…but i did it DIY style with 304 stainless and a mig,..but did bung and preasure test all my sections …. yet to try it on road few more mods t he n tune first 👍🏻 love your videos ,…and work….QUALITY!!👌🏼

Outstanding work! Use of the 3d print and ice engine work to mock up was perfect. Subscribed! That car sounds sooooo sick now!
Instant subscription 😳
Those welds are things of beauty
Thanks!
Sounds like an exotic race car - sweet
Sure does 😎
One for Mat Armstrong to pick up for his hand luggage!
Great video, very interesting to see the process. You have some serious skills, Adam 👍
Thanks!
Well worth the watch, i found ovaling the flange pipes very useful for the future exhaust revisions on my own project.
Glad it helped!
Exceptional! Can’t say more than that. 👍🏻
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@FabCoUK I spotted the car on the lift in the last Late Brake allegro update. DW then launched their take on the process, so was waiting for this. Very impressive buddy. 👊🏻
Outstanding job you had done what a perfect sound on a perfect car Adam great video 🫶🏻
Thanks 👍
I don't think it would be easy to find a better sounding 6 cylinder than this. Wow!
gained a subscriber. Great video and even better work!!!
Beautiful symphony from the 992, I can imagine if it was straight pipe with no opf filter.
top video, i hope this gets you get some good sales. so valuable seeing you work like this.
Thanks!😃
Very nice build and the sound on the video is great I can imagine what it's like in real life 😮
Glad you like it!
Proper ending that! love it when they get driven properly :D
😎
Brilliant,
Thanks!
Last time I was working under my car I never lost my bearings but I did lose my marbles and never got them back 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 You’re a true master of your art 👍🏻🏴
Sorry to hear that😅
Awesome job Adam. The car sounds great almost 1990s F1
Thanks!
Wow that was incredible, but the end result is what I remember late 80’s formula 1 cars used to sound like.
😎
Nice
Thanks
Hell yeah, Mr FabCo
Looks like a complex problem approached with skill and a lot of patience
Nice welds too.
Thanks!
Love it...

Great work, as always. Your client obviously has a few quid 👌
This is Phil Morrison we are talking about!!🤣🤣
Love how well you know your craft. Feel kinda bad for you though you get to spend all that time creating a master piece to see someone else just take it away. 😅 stunning work though pal.
Thanks! No need to feel bad, I’d have no need to create if there wasn’t a demand in the first place 😊
i was thumbs up # 992... nice.
Nice to see you can build an exhaust system (or a large part of it) without needing to build the car first... 😆 👍
Fantastic! Really interesting to watch. I'm wanting some equal length and better flowing manifolds for my V8 Vantage, but access is horrific. There are some off-the-shelf options, but I do love the the idea of this!
Go for it!
It sounds like an old V10 F1 engine!
🏎😎
Beautiful looking exhaust but once she's running they're gonna MELT 😮
Nothing melted yet!
@@FabCoUK 🤞👍
@@FabCoUKThats modern plastic for ya 😅
Great content filming was agreat effort and that thing doesn't sound like the distinctive porsche boxer sound its almost like a Lamborghini when its cracking through the gears when its not on limiter lookig forward for a few more like this✔✔👍
Glad you enjoyed it
nice work. would have been interesting to get the car on a dyno before and after. building an exhaust of my own, did look at buying tubes from you but brexit said no.
An interesting video. From my knowledge of fluid dynamics telling me bends are bad, can I assume the benefit of equal headers outweighs the negatives of sharp bends?
The goal was sound, not performance. Additional bends rarely reduce performance by any measurable margin
Hey Adam, fancy doing a prototype split side exhaust manifolds for S63B44 to make it finally sound like it should?
Great work and an amazing sound! What does the length of the header do to the sound? Did you compensate for the offset cylinder banks in the total length of the exhaust, as in having the forward bank's collector moved slightly back so that the exhaust length could be the same on both sides or is this even a thing?
The longer length creates a more high pitched sound. They’re equal length both sides
@@FabCoUK Do you know why the sound is higher pitched with a longer pipe? Are the primaries equal length or is the whole header setup identical length left and right?
@@FabCoUK I can find a lot of data for the contrary. For example in musical instruments a longer pipe means lower pitch.
Bloody beautiful work. What’s the cost for something like this?
🤔🤔🤔 I guess Cardboard Cad is no good for this application ? 🤣🤣 dude Awesome job as always 😁😁🤘🤘
😁
How do you account for expansion when hot? Is it just estimated from experience?
More or less 😊
Interesting video because it’s unusual for me to watch someone making a custom exhaust where ultimate power isn’t the only, or even the primary motivation.
Glad you liked it!
I know you moved workshops “not very far from me tbh 😂”, but how do you go on with bolting your 2 post lifts in place ?. I mean what thickness of concrete are you using ?.
Cheers 👍
Definitely take advice from an expert 😅
Great video. But why couldn't go straight from collectors (3 to 1) in to the cat? Look like you restrict the exhaust flow.
*Promo SM* 😀
Fuckin hell that sounds good.

Interesting spelling of fabrication 😅😅
Have a shot avery time he says kinda/of I swear you will get smashed , sorry love your content
Have fun 🍺
