1275 Header and exhaust

Share this page

You are better off with the extra clearance by cutting! Any possibility of exhaust rattle or banging against the frame will be eliminated! The header has a "gentler" bend than the stock pipe and is also of a larger diameter!
 
So I am ready to get and hook up what I need from the header back. Any thoughts on Diameter? I was also thinking about a stainless tip off of the glass pack. What diameter should I get?
 
I am using 1 3/4" (same as outlet size of header). Don't know about the tip, I am using a flow-thru Harley Davidson muffler which is also 1 3/4" dia. and it is already chromed (w/a nice hanging bracket in just the right spot already welded to it!)which is at the end of the pipe, so it doubles as the tip.
 
Frank says that a peice of the proper size chrome over brass sink drain pipe stuff can be cut for a fine exhaust tip.
