I'm thinking of slightly shortening my header in order to add some clearance between itself and my S3 body. When I did my first body for this buggy I basically just cut a big chunk out of rear section of the body. It worked and the body lay nicely but it looked hack and I HATE HACK. I now have a decent little MIG welder and although MIG isn't the best choice for welding aluminum it is possible. I could buy a J-shaped header but they generally tend to push the pipe forward more and I don't want to do that either. This should be a relatively simple job. I just need a small roll of aluminum wire, an aluminum specific contact tip and a small Ar cylinder.
Here you can see how the contact with the header makes the body roll to the right. It looks like hell like that.
Here you can see where the contact is made. I want to cut a small section out of the header above above halfway and weld the two pieces together such that the backend of the pipe is closer to the engine and the header no long makes contact. There is A LOT of room for the header and pipe to swing closer to the engine so space is not an issue toward the inside.
Do you guys think this is a good idea or no?
