*Insider Pics* Pfadt LT Headers, TIG Welding...
Having dealt with the gang at Pfadt for many years, I have some friends on the inside over there. One of their welders sent me over pictures of their TIG welding process, and close-ups of their welds.
Also take note in the header flange picture that is AFTER the flange was faced off, look at the consistency in the width of the weld puddles. This is how you lay a bead down...
As always you can purchase your Pfadt products direct from us here at FSP or through any of their valued dealer network!

Are they looking for an LS3 test mule?? I'll gladly let them put those works of art on my car. In return I promise to race with them every chance I get.

Is this a random sample chosen from the manufacturing process? Or is it specially done for the promotion of the headers? Are the welds measured by a product quality procedure?

The ones on my car have welds that look just like the pictures you see here. If I had a better camera and new how to take pictures you would clearly see that in the below picture of my passenger side header before install. You can still make it out though if you squint
See my thread in this section and look at the pictures in the link to the actual photo album with the bigger pictures. You can see the quality in the set I got is the same as the pictures posted above.

These are not promotional shots in the slightest, this is a production set of headers that went off to a very happy client
