So I have been buying and trying all sorts of homemade and used header designs and I just wasn't happy, but I was bound and determined to not spend the dough to buy what I really wanted - until spring started getting closer. I finally broke down last week and gave saltflatmatt a call to get some headers built for my project, it was a short conversation but he know what I wanted and I felt like he was the right man for the job so I handed over my money and sat by the window eagerly awaiting the brown Santa Claus to come with my presents. I came home from work yesterday and saw the package sitting on the porch. Once I saw the shipper tag, I realized it was time to get this car done. I got changed and set out to the garage to get these things fitted up. Once they were on I have to say I am more than happy with the construction and even moreso that it was money well spent. I have not fired it up yet so I cannot comment on the sound but if it sounds 1/2 as good as it looks I am in for a treat. Anyway, on with the pictures! A big thanks to Matt, excellent work - you've gained a customer for life.
Wow, they look great. Have you fired it up yet? How's it sound? Love the inserts, it all looks very well made.
Looks GREAT! I love the baffle. That should sound MEAN without knocking out your dental work. Kudos! Also, dig the scallops. I like where you are heading with this build....
Those look great. I like the swept tubes and how he's making the baffles bolt in now. I love mine, they were a little loud for me so I wrapped the baffles in some ceramic fiber and quited them down a little. Great Product Matt
Matt is one of the guys who wear white hats in this hobby........super nice guy and he builds a great product. The baffles do knock the sound down slightly and give it a nice throaty sound. The turnouts should help even more. Those look killer on your hot rod. My son just built a set using Matt's parts and I can tell you that a lot of work goes into building them.........more than we ever would have thought. Don
Sorry about the video quality but this outa give you an idea!! Best customer service ever! I used Matts baffles and was tickled!!! This is one of the first drives! Thanks Matt http://s1105.photobucket.com/albums/h358/hammerweight/?action=view¤t=Dougs31Ford.mp4
We can and do on request but in the past zoomies have been a headache for me and the customer. They are very loud, then the customer calls and complains. I have baffles but they don't work as well as some people expect.
I tried them turning out instead of turning down. I like the look alot better, will have to see if there is a noticeable sound difference.
we just ordered a set for a customers model a we are building that had a hemi in it. i cant believe how fast they got here. they look awsome. but then again you can expect the out of mat. i have bought 2 intakes from him and 2 sets of headers before. great guy.
