INTRODUCTION
For decades, the design and
construction of tubular exhaust headers, for racing or show, have been
considered almost a form of art due to the inherent difficulty in the
conceptual design, the layout and ultimately the fabrication of multiple
branches of tubular metal sections of exact dimensions and very complex
shapes. In many cases, trial-and-error
ends up being the development method for challenging designs which are required to fit
in tight engine compartments while meeting their
performance objectives. Not very inspiring, yet successful
designs are constantly being sought after.
Recently, the arrival of expensive CAD systems to
create tubular header designs has
somewhat sped up the process for a limited number of users who can afford
them. Still, even if money is
not a problem, considerable time has to be invested by trained personnel
doing the programming. Then, when a virtual solution has been found, it still needs to
be fabricated for the real world.
The bottom line is that the current design and construction techniques can take lots of time, patience
and also expensive metal tubing; in return, they give back
frustration, a pile of scrap metal and hopefully after a while, the set of headers
initially planned for.
Imagine designing precise exhaust header full-scale 3D models using
your hands only…
Imagine being able to do it in a
matter of hours instead of days or weeks…
Imagine
making unlimited corrections without generating any waste...
Imagine determining how much metal you will need to fabricate it,
down to the very inch...
Imagine…
Imagine no more.
icengineworksTM (derived from the words Internal Combustion
Engine Works), a division of Evolution tuning, Inc., based in Austin,
TX, is proud to
introduce to the motor sports and the automotive performance communities its
very simple and highly effective patented line of precision exhaust header
3D modeling block systems. A modular design tool so flexible and
universal in nature that it can be applied to develop tubular header systems
for almost any internal combustion engine: from the most exotic forms of
professional international racing, to the best-in-class show car, street
bike or the fastest funny car, down to the street rod in the garage down the
block. Karts, V-twins, 2-strokers, 4-bangers, V6s, V8s, V12s, twin turbos,
blown engines, you name it, your imagination is the limit to find
applications for your dream exhaust header systems that can now be easily
designed and built.
Basic skills and access to welding equipment is all it takes to
easily and quickly create tubular exhaust header designs that before seemed next to
impossible to build. Experienced engine builders will be able
to turn challenging and time-consuming customer projects into almost instant
works of tubular art: sculpted-like curves in precise lengths and smooth
transitions resulting in head-turning designs that your customers will love
to own, show off and ultimately compensate for.
Made in USA. Patent Pending. icengineworksTM is a trademark.
