We offer them in a 3/8 thick finished with either a flat or flat/machined ridge. Our are made from the factory print and are perfect for porting or custom headers. These have been made in the past but none have matched perfectly.

For those purchasing header flanges, here is a good *.pdf (Acrobat) file explaining how to fit and weld the pipe to the flange:

Its a ballmilled channel (using a .125 BEM) to seat the gasket firmly in place.

Them sure is purrrttyyy
Coupla of questions.
Why did you leave material in between the siamese ports? (There really isn't enough room to jam a decent size tube in those doglegs)
Will you make me some out of Stainless?

Jeff theres plenty of room :mrgreen: The reason is backpressure my friend. When you open up the space between doglegs you have created a imbalanced backpressure and that can cause some strange issues at high rpms. On the stainless steel flanges....















Heck no stainless is hard to laser out. :sa:

the actual gap or space removed by the cut..(reduces the amount of angle you can cut

No MC I wasn't implying leaving them open...
You bring both tubes together in the middle and weld up the area in between. It's pretty hard to get 2 2inch tubes together
See what I had to do then I had to bridge a weld between the tubes

What kind of tubing are you using to make the exhaust up to the collector?

Short or long runs?
