I suspect they have sold a whole bunch of them and that is the only one that I remember breaking....

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

yes sir same set up eeeep I guess I'm looking at a chain....


Not so sure I would be too worried about that chain.  I bet they've sold more than a few and wouldn't be using it unless it was proven to them.  Probably the first hitch in their giddy up

The only thing that I can see that may have caused my chain to break is compressor surge, my car suffers with compressor surge with the setup that I have , and I remember when mine broke, that I was at a point that the car would surge and there is alot of jerking involved when it does surge, to me the has to put a strain on the internal parts IMO. maybe I am wrong please feel free to comment on this because I can't find another reason for it breaking, Bill and the owner at Weber (cant remember is name) are great ppl to work with, I have nothing but good things to say about them. A+ in my book.

So I had this same set of headers on the white T and was really discouraged as the flange began to corrode. The stainless stayed somewhat decent looking but the flange was rusty.  So I masked off the stainless pipes with some 100 mph tape and blasted the flange. Then I painted with some VHT extreme high heat header paint.  What do you think?  Any ideas on cleaning the stainless pipes?

Maybe some vinegar. Or some kind of polish if you want them to be shiny.

Devil is in the details. Spent some time at the parts washer. Then the blast cabinet and finally a little paint.

Looks good, just make sure your alternator can ground to the motor through the bracket.  Seen far too many powder coated LSx brackets cause charging system hiccups.
