    I will try to show some of the parts and explain Fabspeed's process.

    The parts that you previously saw were designed on-site at the Fabspeed design department. Most of their systems are made to order - these are not really mass produced. Fabspeed also keeps raw parts on-site.

    Fabspeed does not do any Casting work for their product lines.

    They outsource the smallest pipe bending. So for the 2.7 headers, they also outsource to the same casting company, the welding of the primary tubes to the merge collector and main header flange that is cast. They contract the casting of the main header flange and this preliminary work for the 2.7 headers to a factory in two locations that mix and match - Germany or Taiwan ROC. They combine this work for efficiency of scale for other casting work for their Porsche and other model lines. They also have the in-house ability to fully weld these up just like their other exhaust systems for the 360, etc depending on demand and contract availability. Keeping costs competitive is obviously a factor.

    So just like my iphone 6 plus I'm shooting these photos on, this 2.7 system is designed in the US and some of the work outsourced. Unlike apple, The components are brought back to the US for final quality control checks and to complete adding the remaining pieces to the set of headers.

    Here are two pairs of components back from outsourcing.

    Love to see the pictures of Fabspeed's operation

    Very nice and continued success to them

    I have a set of their headers on one of my challenge cars.

    I'll get back to the rest of the fabrication in a few posts but thought the group would like to see some of the detailed individual parts that make up the header.

    Here is the merge collector with central needle.
