Anyone know what size pipe will slip over the header outlet for a 2-1 mid pipe? Thanks |

I would like to know this too. Try asking D_adams. He would know. |

If your talking about the stock headers 1 7/8" I.d. will fit nicely. Hope that helps you. (Message edited by vinb on August 16, 2010) |

1.875" tubing will work, but it will need to be stretched about .030" to slip over the headers if you use 16 gauge tubing. I use a mechanical expander to size it to fit. |

Thanks Vin and Dean. I thought I asked you this once already Dean, but I couldn't find anything in my email and didn't want to sound like an idiot asking you again, hahaha!! I have a manual expander that I'll have to use. Now it's just a matter of finding the tubing locally or settling on an online dealer for my specific little project. |

I was thinking Summit cause their shipping is always really cheap. I'll have to take a look again. JC Whitney has good prices usually and Cone Engineering has a lot of different parts for pretty cheap too. Albert: I think I need 16G cause I'm not the best welder when doing 18G. I basically have to do a bunch of tack welds all the way around the pipe. It ends up looking good I guess...I just need someone to give me a TiG machine!!!

FWIW, I buy tubes and bends from Burns - always been happy with quality. http://www.burnsstainless.com/tubingmain.aspx Drawk - the 16ga 304 welds really nice with a TIG. You're bound to have someone who either owes you or you can easily bribe.... |
