I'm adding this view of the header to help show clearance for anyone using a rear sway bar (especially Tarrett). It doesn't quite show clearly enough how the pipe drops down once it is behind the halfshaft. I think there is plenty of clearance though.
The header is kind of close to the trunk floor for a short distance, and I have to relocate my starter wires (which currently come in from the side) before I install it. Attached image(s)

Hmmmmmm....looks like adjusting valves will be fun....Can we get a nice heat shield to cover up all that stainless? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/blink.gif)
Just kidding...looks great! Any idea of how the performance will compare to your current set up? |

Valve adjustment is easy. The header does not interfere. I just got through doing a valve adjustment on a '75 with stock HE's. That was a major PITA! The only place I think a heat shield might be appropriate is between the trunk floor and the secondary collector where it is about an inch away. That is, only if you have anything perishable in that part of the trunk. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif) According to Jake Raby, who compared my original 912E header to my Evo Beetle header on a 2.3L with peak hp around 6000 rpm there was no performance difference. I expect that the higher the rpm peak the more my Evo header will outperform the old header, due to more equal length primaries and meeting the engineering design lengths within specified tolerances. An Evo Upright Conversion (Beetle) header was used on the dyno runs of my new FP engine with impressive results. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif) |
