Exhaust header

[VelodromeRacer]

Can anyone recommend where I can purchase a proper
exhaust header for my 1966 BJ8. I have been told that
I should buy a split header or some say to buy a 6 in to 1?

I have had no luck in finding any vendors.

The BJ already has split headers. The standard threes into twos manifolds & pipes are pretty good unless you are building an all out race car. A six into one is likely to only improve things at very high rpm, & cause loss of midrange power.

Hi Vracer,
I haven’t run my car with the new headers yet, but I bought mine from Denis Welsh. Here’s the link . They are 6 into 2's, but I put a cross tube in just North of the mufflers. I had to cut a small section out of the header and re-weld a flatter piece in to clear the foot well, but I think I’m the only person that had to do that judging from the last thread we had on headers. Otherwise, they were fine. Randy Forbes has a cool set of headers, maybe he’ll come along and tell you were he got his.

If you are looking for like new original (with experience but rebuilt), try British Miles.

I've attached a picture that I 'posed' of my BJ8 motor with DW headers. I cut and welded a short length of the original type SS flex pipe and had them coated with JetHot.
