made a quick jig to tack up the headers.

the rest was a bit like a puzzle, all about fitting the right size piece, the 1/8" chipboard i used for the mock up header worked well for templates that i used to get my cuts really close, with just minor grinding needed for a near perfect fit.

after i got all the primaries tacked up I just needed to connect my merge collector, I wanted to do a slip fit but could not find anyone to expand the pipe accurate enough for my liking. so i would just end up welding them on.

the collector end got a little tricky but worked out well for welding as i had just enough room everywhere

Completed header ready to weld up fully

and here is some pics of both of them
