Does anyone know who made this exhaust manifold, or if they are available off the shelf? Are all the primaries (is that right?) the same length?

If so I want one! :D

Do a search for A1 muffler. The guys name is Tiger, and I think he's out of Anaheim.

the bad thing about those is when it comes time to adjust the valves... and replaceing those triangle gaskets everytime.

Yeah, I wondered why he didn't position the muffler so it's not at an angle, but more vertical instead, which would give you about 8 inches or so between the muffler and valve cover. I bet he would make one custom for you though.

Anyone know if it's possible to buy just the header? I'm in the Uk so phoning is a apain....

You don't need the gaskets... I don't run 'em and I don't have any exhaust leaks...

All I have to say about the A-1 Bus header & muffler combo is:
F'ING BAD ASS

yeah, that is a pretty "upskirt" shot for sure!

That header looks to be very close to the inside of the rear apron. Does anyone know whether a header like this would have to be wrapped to prevent blistering the paint? I love it too and would love to see something like that get mass produced.
