So while my 914-6 oil tanks are being machined I going to start working through my header with heat exhanger design out of stainless.. I do not have non compete on these with m&k so that gives me design freedom.. However I will use similar design process as the m&k/ rarlyl8 design. So my question is 1.5" the most common size or allot of you using 1.625

OK, I thought I had a couple of 2.0 muffler hangers I could give Ben. I don't. I must have gave them away or put them somewhere I wouldn't lose them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
Ben needs some measurements. Can someone with a 2.0 muffler hanger give him the center to center measurements in the picture below. If a couple of guys pipe in and confirm them, even better. Attached image(s) |

If a couple of guys pipe in and confirm them, even better. I have one off my 6. I'll go out and measure it in a few. 20" c to c on header flange mount, 5" c to c on trans mount holes, 6 1/4" c to c from trans mount down to center flange line. |

I will mod my mount and start mocking up parts.. I have to make a hard decision on these.. I really wanted to use a burns style collector as they are so nice but that could drive the price up another 450 in cost over just a simple collector like you see so often. I looked at headers by eds website as they offer a bunch of options but I can buy everything locally for about the same price and I can locally source all the flanges as well.. So to meet my target of 1500. It looks like it will be the simplier collector.. What is everyone's thoughts on this? |

By simpler collector do you mean a formed collector vs. the nice welded ones with inner guide that Burns sells? |

It would still be a welded assembly but much more like a formed collector.. |

I'm visualizing the collectors you can readily make with a jig in a bandsaw/chop saw like these. |
