Rewarder vs bassett headers
« on: October 24, 2015, 02:26:59 PM »
So it's coming time for headers on my brendella I'd like to hear some input on what u guys think about these products. Also I've got an Olds and I'd like to keep the space as close to the head as possible seeing my hull is a Lil narrower between the block and the boat......

What about a set of twistes would look clean on that hot rod but that's just me, very clean boat by the way bud

I honestly don't think you would ever notice a difference in performance.  The dimensions of production headers are far from ideal.  Select the one you like the best.

When i went from the basset bell ends to the twisties I noticed a performance improvement. Better exhaust flow no sharp bends. More flow more power. But like was already mentioned go with what you like you won't see huge gains

What is the dimension from the exhaust ports to the inside lip of the engine bay? I have Bassett twisties on my boat and they are about a foot off of the side of the block at the widest point. I like Bassett so that's my choice

I know exactly what you are dealing with.  I had to go with the traditional style header on my Hondo because of clearance issues.  On the traditional style the third pipe back is the one that sticks out the farthest from the heads.  On twisties it's the forth pipe back and with the shape of the inner gunnels it'll be very tight.



I had 1" between the pipe and the inner gunnel.  I added small metal heat shields to make sure it didn't burn the hull.

There are a few pictures on page 2 showing the damage caused by using twisties on a BBF is this type of hull.

that's my exact hull bro I got like at the most narrow 9 inches ! What header did u go with? I'm sure there's some stuff I can do gain more clearance but I also have a feeling that some sort of heat protection may be needed

I'm using a set of Bassett's.

If you're considering buying new, check with MadSkills (Nick) about building you a set.

I put Bassett twisties on my 76 T-deck Hondo (BBF), but had to go back to Bassett twice to have them rolled tighter. This was back in about '96, but they may still have the dimensions.

Hey guys been a while since I've been on here.... went to dry fit the headers on and oh boy looks like imma need a custom set made or have these modified...... I left a message w bassett hopefully we can work something out. I talked to madskillz about a set but he lives si far away and he needed a bunch of measurements and I didn't think I could get him the right stuff ge wanted anyway,  there's my problem of the day.....
