Houston I have a problem...
« on: February 24, 2009, 07:01:32 PM »
I bought some tt headers, and when I put them up against my original exhaust , looked like NO problem ;D , when I took one side off, and put a couple of bolts in the header, I have a major line up prob from where the header lands to where the exhaust tip comes in from the transom :banghead: :banghead: any ideas guys

Take them back to the jackass that sold them to you and put them in his ass!
































KIDDING! The hose that Rex or anyone else sells will have enough flex in it to make that offset with no problems. Make damn sure you have the plumbing 100% CORRECT for that setup, you'll only get one chance................

Hey Brian ya think they might fit up there ??? ??? ;D  I will check the flex hose out.   My only concern is that I will have a downward shaped U going out, the same as a trap on a sink. That work on exhaust ??? ???   Thanks for your input also Skip

Looks sort of like you be needin some angled tips  ;),  The ones I picked up for my Carrera are set up to be angled out of the transom to meet the exhaust manifolds... Good luck!

How did this work out? I don't think the rex hose has much "flex" to it. I put a tall block in and just that made it a pain.
