Over the years I have seen many on here use stock 6 exhaust headers on 2.7 - 3.2 engines. Seems to me they are a bit puny ( not enough i.d. to flow well ) on anything over a mild 2.4 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Am I right on this ? Assuming so what options are there for the larger displacement / horsepower engines ?

A little smaller is better than a little too big. Except for all out racing applications the flat 6's do best with a little back pressure.
You guys making heat exchangers out of mild steel headers had better make sure your life insurance is paid up, and your bucket list is checked off pretty well, as it's a dangerous proposition!! There's a reason all Porsche heat exchangers since the mid 60's have tubing made of stainless, and it's because a few people got killed by exhaust gasses in the cabin. TRYING TO MAKE HEAT EXCHANGERS FROM MILD STEEL HEADERS IS POTENTIALLY LETHAL!! |
