I was wondering what my header was and now I know it's a Euro Header. Thanks for the pic of the underside. My car has been off the road for three years now and my T4 rebuild is almost done.
Here's my comments about the header... 1. I don't have the removable stub pipes, they are all welded up to the 4 into 1 collector 2. Notice how it wraps Under the engine. The oil drain plug is blocked by this and when you drain the oil it flows over the pipe. This can be prevented with a quick-drain plug and a hose, but now you know. 3. Again, on the under the engine design. This may make more hear for the engine case, I don't know? I am considering a clamp-on heat shield from a piece of stainless as part of my rebuild. 4. The pipes hang down quite a bit (under the engine case) and you will get some scrapes from bottoming out on road dips. Easy to weld on some scuff sleeves from a slit pipe if you need it. 5. A bit loud, but that depends on your muffler. |
