Cold and semi-warm start video of the Raptor headers and AutoMaster/AMR header-back exhaust:

Warm start and some revving @ 2:06.

Plus brake flasher mod toward the end of each section (when I apply the brake).

Thanks for the update - seems to be running perfectly! :)

Perscitus isnt updating us, maybe we down under are forgotten

Here is a quote from a recent post on - http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php ... count=1505


With the headers, there is enough torque (especially low and mid-RPM) that I rarely ever go WOT or need to downshift - unless I just feel like having some fun and listening to the engine/exhaust tone. On the highway, she's happy between 1.5-2K RPM, sometimes even 1.3K is enough, just cruising along.

Hi Tim, apologies. Been a hectic couple of months (and one terrible winter).

My Raptor H6 beast has gone catless and she's doing great!

I might re-introduce some spun metal cats back to limit the >4/5KRPM rasp (resonators didn't fully resolve it).

Can you PM me or drop me an email, I wanted to discuss a Raptor SC with you :)
AMR Rob and I talked about it recently....

Latest setup (3rd config)

Previous setup (2nd config; the baffled resonators were not good, amplified rasp and caused pinging):

Great to hear from you

Thanks for the updates - you sure have been busy there.

Definitely appreciated the recommendations. Legacy GT must have an FB page - never thought to look for it

I see the PM and am working on that now.

We received word today that the next shipment of headers leaves for Australia in 2 days time. So, just a couple of weeks and we should be in distribution mode

One more update from the US.

4th and final revision of the y-pipe fabricated and installed yesterday by AutoMaster Al @ AMR!
Rasp is gone and performance almost as good if not as good as full catless.

http://legacygt.com/forums/showpost.php ... count=1626

With the revisions we've gone through, our findings are similar to 'Daytona's' from the 3.0R Header thread.
viewtopic.php?f=65&t=17262&start=660#p405243

1. The header runner flanges are angled a bit different depending on if the header spacers are used or not to clear the FSB.
This is useful for consideration when designing a custom y.

2. Stock cats will start to fail (its just a question of time) with the headers installed. Exhaust flow and EGTs (especially without a tune) are too high for them to take and they start to collapse, substrate separates from the housing walls. Symptoms: initially some bogging down, sluggish performance, eventually overheating front substrate surface, back-pressure spikes, random mis-fires, random knock. This can be monitored too via logging (BtSSM, FreeSSM,

3. The solution to 2 is either to go a. catless or b. replace OEM cats with larger ID metal core (higher temp tolerating) units. Catless is easier and cheaper, nets a slight performance gain, but calls for a retune (to realize it and to run safe), but results in a RASP >5K RPM that doesn't sound good at all.

Catless: Exhaust fume smell is minimal (potentially thanks to the tune). Using baffled resonators in place of the cats causes pinging within the y-pipe and doesn't eliminate the rasp, using perforated straight through resonators doesn't eliminate the rasp either but eliminates the pinging.

Catted: Using 100 cell race/metal cats only partially eliminates the rasp.
200 and 200+ cell cats eliminate (or rather muffle) the rasp enough to make it livable, streetable.

4. With the y-pipe design figured out (2.5" ID piping throughout, 2x 2.5" 200-cell metal cats), the location and way it mates to the catback is also different from car to car. All depends on what exhaust we're running (stock 3.6R CBE, modified LGT CBEs in either 2.5" ID, 3" IDs, resonated, non-resonated, flanged or not). Depending on the CBE, the inlet can be offset by as much as an 1-1.5" making coming up with a PnP y-pipe tricky.

Very interesting. I had a system built with 200cel sports cats, within 500 miles they were totally destroyed and the debris was sucked back into the engine causing it to seize. I am currently running catless because of the fear of destroying the engine again. I am currently running a 3" system with the supercharger, no rasp at 5k.

Like your work, good stuff.

Update

The new header shipment is now on road freight and will be at Raptor in around 48 hrs time - orders will then start to be processed

EZ36 Headers are currently shipping to customers in USA

Get in quick as there are very few sets left. :mrgreen:
