      Amazing work put into the parts making man. I wish i had all those machines. Luckily for me my dad have most of em on his work and some smaller drillers and machines in his garage. Buying a aftermarket header is $$$ as hell...

          Had a buddy with one of these in that green color they are pretty badass! Plan on building a full exhaust or just the headers?

              Green you never see, super cool color.

              Yes making the entire exhaust, from block to tips all hand made stainless, going to be a good time

              Agree, you can make these for 1/5th of the cost of those "name brand".

              Sidenote SuperSprints look like absolute s*** (as far as the build quality) to be honest

              Also learn as much as you can from your pops, if he has all that equipment. I wish I had learned more from my gramps when he was alive.

                      Update time



                      Headers continued


                      More chop


                      More tape


                      Test fit of first runner, driver side is most difficult as the steering shaft/box is within a few inches of the engine block in areas


                      Me pretending to be the body of the car


                      The thing to keep in mind is that you have to be able to get to the fasteners for attaching the headers once its all welded together


                      Now that the first runner is mostly located I could move to the collector


                      You want to make sure you have "place holders" in during the build as this fit into the collector should be very tight, bundle a few short sections of straight tube together




                      Now your ready to continue with the runners






                      After dropping the body back down onto the engine/sub-frame and bolting all back together, it was evident I needed to do a few more tweeks




                      Its getting closer


                      And its tacked together


                      1st runner is tacked, only 7 more!


                      This first runner is the most important one, everything else will be built off this, it pays dividends to get it right now rather than later

                      Till next time

                        Supersprints I always thought looked the coolest with those old school spring collectors

                          keep calm, go mash your face on a car window.

                            I logged into SW for the first time in over 9 years, and this is the first thread I see. I purchased a 2002 M5 in May, and I cannot express enough how much ass these cars kick. Very cool what you got going on here.

                              The E39 M5 is probably one of the best cars ever made, and you have serious skills. This build will be epic.

                                Header time continued!


                                Tape, Tack, Weld, repeat


                                These two runners are critical, I lowered the body back onto the sub-frame to check the fit before tacking


                                A little close for comfort,need to rework this one a little bit






                                Checking clearance on the collectors, everything looks pretty good


                                Sub-frame out again, rinse repeat


                                Fixed the runner nearest the steering shaft


                                Moved to the second runner




                                Tack em


                                3 fully tacked and set, just 5 more to go!


                                That is all I got for this update
