Just wondering where you get the pies for that since it would be a little different than the pipe needed for tubular headers...?

 

you can get the t pipes and the 90 degree radius pipes from www.mcmaster.com. They have mild and stainless steel. Just search for like weld els or stainless pipe and you should be able to find them.

 

cool thanks for the link, anyone else got some places to list too?

 

What kinda pipe are u looking for? Summit sells straight pipe as well as bends in sizes up to at least 3".

 

Gotta have some smallish pipe like 1 5/8 pipes to weld onto the header flange or the shortpipes on the header flange to connect to the log. Ill basically have to do more research as far as sizing of all the hotside parts, just curious if there is a certain gauge like 16 gauge that the pipes and log etc should be made of... and whaere some of you get it from.

 

Got mine from a plumber... schedule 40. In addition to different diameters, different radii are available.

 

Now thats a good idea is it a thicker gauge than normal exhaust?

 

Sch40 should be about 1/8" thick wall, maybe a bit more. I saw a how-to on one of the Honda sites a while back.. let me see ifn I can find it again...

 

I'd have to go back and look, but my main log is some thick ****...14ga. maybe? The primaries are 1-3/4" u & j-bends that I got from a local place. They work perfect.

 

In the diameters used for auto use here, figure appr. .150" thick.

How 'bout this one? http://www.sdsefi.com/techheader.htm

 

Hey arnie you got any pics of your log header?

 

No. Still in too many pieces. But to be fair, it will end up more like shorty headers, than a log manifold.

 

well make sure to post when you're done

 

well heres one I built

clownhair, are the 2 center primaries actuallt "T" pipes and the outside primaries just close them off? also what size is the main log, looks the same as the primaries..?
