Hayabusa Header Build - Trick-Tools.com

In this video, we build a new stainless steel header for a Suzuki Hayabusa to replace the old steel header. we step up the primary size from 1 3/4" to 1 7/8" and tuck the collector and outlet tighter to the bike.
Here is a link to our "How to Build Headers" video as mentioned in this video

These videos are incredible. I'm a carpenter by trade so I understand how you developed your shapes to measure and cut. You are very neat in your work. I hope you pass your skills on to an apprentice. Im enjoying your videos.

Some people has it some doesn't. You got it brother

[@stevesloan6775]

Thanks heaps for sharing your inspirational work with the world. I just purchased a nice tig welder and your videos really get my juices flowing.

Great to hear!

Why didnt he back purge the welds?

[@Mopar_Taxi_Guy]

No need for filler material to weld these together?

[@TrickTools]

With this thin, high-quality stainless and a no-gap fit-up you can fuse it while achieving full penetration and no under cut.

Could you post a parts list of what you used?

shoot me an email [e-mail] and I'll get you a list

Looks good but why no purge?

[@TrickTools]

Thanks, purging isn't required to weld stainless. With proper heat settings and no gap fitment, full penetration can be achieved on this thin material without excess "sugaring" on the inside. I have built and welded out well over 2 dozen sets of headers and many exhaust systems this way and have yet to have one crack or fail in any way. Brycen Smith [e-mail]

@@TrickTools I would like to give it a try. I’ve always purged stainless unless it’s a slip/lap fit up. Would you mind posting the stainless series, material thickness, and machine settings? Thanks!

[@TrickTools]

I've purged before, I'm not against it at all but in my experience its not always necessary either. this specific set was 304 18 gauge. I run the heat pretty low to start, set at 40 but I always use my foot for the amperage I want so it fluctuates.
