Anybody know what the correct tube dia. and length would be for headers for a 1.7 used for club racing. Got the tools, got the time and a low budget. Better yet, any solidworks files out there. thanks andy |

i have built many headers. it may not be as easy as it looks. to get the nice, clean bends in the pipe, i use a mandrel bender. to do that, you need a pattern to get the proper angles. i also have the flanges laser cut from 5/16 steel. i have a jig to asure a proper fit to the car. bolt the flanges tight as well as the pipe to make sure nothing moves when you put the welds to it. good luck...
