Having a hard time finding exhaust options for my 914 sandrail. Could use input and ideas.
I have a 1973 1.7L with oval ports. I was thinking of running two ports into one muffler on each side. Looking at fabricating a custom exhaust header with this approximate routing.  Here is my engine and transaxle. Looking to mount the fuel cell just above the transaxle.   Here is a picture of my cylinder exhaust port:  Looking to keep the headers tucked as close to the cylinder head as feasible to increase ground clearance:  Can I start with 1-5/8" 16ga 304 Stainless tubing and mash the oval shape into the end of the tubing? I could then tig weld the cylinder head stud loops for securing to the head. Can anyone tell me the dimensions of the oval shape? I can buy pre-bent SS joints from summit: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vpe-13033 |

I can provide bends if you need them. I bend 1.625 all the time.

Would you be willing to swage the end oval and weld on the head stud tabs? How much per bend? I will send a PM with cell phone if you prefer. I am located about 2.5 Hours from Racine, WI.

(Dubuque IA) Sorry can't do the swage as I have nothing to match it with.. Custom also costs a bunch.. I would suggest having me do the bends if possible but you may find that the summit kit maybe cheaper? No idea. I don't do the volume they do. I am an option though so let me know what you need. |
