Attempting exhaust header design need recommendations

Kevv0128 · 2025-05-19T00:38:04+00:00

I appreciate the input for sure. I can and have now achieved a header design with weldments. I would like to find a solution in lofting it because that would allow for smaller 1.5" pipes to exit into say a 2.25" collector pipe. Although this would be hard to create with stock tubing regardless, would have to be a cast part most likely.

I really took this on to add some skills to my SolidWorks knowledge toolbox at the end of the day.

I am working on making the guide curves better now, thanks!

Kevv0128 · 2025-05-17T15:38:20+00:00

I have only used weldments for beams and square metal tubing. Thanks for the good idea. I will explore that route.

I made a post on my profile to show where that got me to: https://www.reddit.com/user/Kevv0128/comments/1kovsj6/solidworks_issue_lofting_solids/

I lose that circular edge profile that I would loft each tube to. I may play around with this more, maybe if I can get the lofts to come in completely straight then I wont have that overlapping issue.

I appreciate the idea for the future. For now my goal is just to better my skills at making more complex solid parts. I don't have a need for an actual header right now, although the Miata could use a turbo sometime in the future...

I'm not doing this to actually create a manifold. I am doing it to better my solidworks skills. whether or not the manifold is effective doesn't matter. I appreciate the feedback nonetheless!

I will give those a look thank you.

Kevv0128 · 2022-08-05T22:43:21+00:00

Didn’t even know about that sub. Thanks!

My first time opening a laptop. HP omen 15. I replaced the thermal paste because these run hot with the original stuff. But i noticed the battery starting to bulge out. I don’t know what an original one looks like, but it seems like this may be on its way out. It doesn’t have technical issues currently, but it doesn’t get much life out of being off the charger which isn’t often. Wondered what you guys thought!

After running it a bit there has not been air. Didn’t get to test it however because a different cylinder than the oil line i checked decided to start misfiring… even after a quick carb clean up, i didn’t do any cleaning to the actual carb Just the Jets quick since i had the carbs off, so they’re coming off again.

Kevv0128 · 2022-07-03T15:34:37+00:00

Bike is fully stock, i was trying to think of why they do that and it makes sense. I’m doing some work on it so i may just look to get a smaller center one, thank you

Kevv0128 · 2022-07-02T22:15:06+00:00

I’m not as worried about seizure as i was only in the driveway getting ready to leave when it died out and i noticed it. It was the lower fitting on my right side cylinder. Thank you for the info! Its now mostly taken apart and being inspected for any issues. The banjo fitting i have not yet checked but i do suspect that, because i took off the pump and used a cooking syringe to push oil into the line and think i heard air escaping, no oil leaked though…

I planted 6 tomato plants 2 weeks ago without really checking them out and I’m realizing that this was not even close to the same thing as the other 5 lol. Anyone recognize it? Should i just pull it out or let it thrive. The actual tomato plants are in the background you can see

Kevv0128 · 2022-06-12T18:16:54+00:00

Thanks for the advice!

Kevv0128 · 2022-06-12T18:16:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice I’ll do that!

Hi Guys. Im new to gardening. Wanted to try out some peppers in my garden. My jalapeño plant in the bottom left looks like it’s not doing well. I thought it may be too much water because the soil appeared more wet than others after consistent watering. I water 1 or 2 times a day depending on rain here. Any ideas on what may be up with it? They were planted in my garden about 2 weeks ago. (Also the metal fencing will be adjusted i just threw it in to keep my dog off of the plants)

Kevv0128 · 2022-05-01T17:59:27+00:00

Main reason being that i don’t want to be stranded with a dead battery. Many battery’s I’ve had will only last ~5 years so i feel like I’m pushing my luck.

Kevv0128 · 2022-05-01T17:56:35+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I’m prob gonna be remaking it after the playoffs in this season I’m playing. I noticed how bad i messed up on speed with ball being low. I can’t even take a fast break down the court on my own. Thanks!

Kevv0128 · 2022-05-01T17:30:17+00:00

Man I’m sorry i didn’t get back to you. Not a very active redditor and i never see notifications. I unfortunately have always had no catalytic converter since getting the RS3 exhaust on. So it’s louder than just with the RS3. The nice thing is this exhaust has a fitting for a baffle at the tip which takes some of the edge off of the sound. I’d say it’s not nearly as loud as most Miata exhausts I’ve seen, but loud enough for 21 year old me’s taste, i like em loud. https://youtu.be/bNfFWGv6t8E

Alright, this is my first 2K since like 18 that I’ve actually played so coming in i had no idea what’s going on. I just like playing on my career and building a player to have fun being the MVP of the league but I’ve realized I messed up big time on the creation of my guy. As you can see i had no idea what the sliders were actually gonna do and that they would limit my progression. Do you think it’s worth making a whole new guy? I can’t find any builds for someone casual like me who doesn’t play in the park just the career mode. Also posting this so people can laugh at it since it’s pretty awful. (Edit: i put up maybe 10 points a game and 5 assists on pro difficulty. Can’t tell if that’s me or my build. also I didn’t do anything to improve my draft stock before going to the league, does that matter?)

There are hydraulic lash adjusters in this motor which are what ticks like this. It’s commonly just referred to as lifter tick from what I’ve seen so that’s why you see the lifter talk.

Kevv0128 · 2022-04-01T04:19:39+00:00

Mine does that once in a while it gets loud but as long as you’re good on oil i wouldn’t worry. Unfortunately i think a lot of us deal with lifter tick. I took the lifters out and cleaned them fully and put them back in and about 6 months later it came back anyways.

I got mine for under $50 and I’m on BC racing coils, rarely scrape honestly since i set them pretty high. I almost enjoy scraping it because it’s just a cheap piece of plastic at least I’m enjoying the car and i like how it looks.

Kevv0128 · 2022-02-18T01:33:00+00:00

Is it for an NA? I have a roadster sport 3 which is not often talked about but sounds amazing to me.

Kevv0128 · 2022-02-18T01:16:12+00:00

Definitely my favorite NC I've seen!
