Tubular Headers / Up Pipe
Can someone recommend me some decent tubular headers and up pipe (not stupid money though)
My flexi pipe has knackered today at Scooby Shoot-Out (i blame the drag strip
)
Anyway, mine is now blowing through the flexi... I don't know if it can be repaired or not, or is it best to get new tubular headers?
Cheers
James

At that level, I think Harvey will recommend ported headers and one of his matched up-pipes.

I think you are right, if you had 400+ then deffo go down the tubular route. You should read the article that harvey done at Andy F place. Very interesting reading.

Sorry. You have this all wrong. I do a number of exhaust solutions and will pick the best kit for the spec involved. This includes a range of six uppipes for two bolt headers, two three bolt flange uppipes, (obviously one or two uppipes cannot ideally cover the varying specs and requirements) Three bolt tubular. Two bolt tubular and the standard ported headers you refer to above plus a range of downpipes for varying requirements.
I don't have your enquiry and you should send it to

Harvey will NOT sell you "maybe this will work".
He WILL sell you "tried and tested". The guy knows his stuff and is as honest as the day is long.
