rust free you say ?  Group: Members Posts: 16,375 Joined: 7-January 05 From: richmond, Va. Member No.: 3,419 Region Association: None  |
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 ?

The exhaust gasses will help corrode the pipes from the inside out.
A CO detector is a great idea. The factory 6 h/e's have no welds inside the heat collectors, nor do the B & B's. The only aftermarket ones I've seen with welds inside the heat collectors are the ones from England, so that probably limits them from a loss of life lawsuit. There's no way you can be sure a weld inside the heat collector won't fail, and of course you'll never see it. No mild steel h/e's and no welds inside the heat collectors is the only way to go, but what do I know. Post some pics of your wife or girlfriend though, as I'm sure there's plenty of lonely single guys in this group! |
