Headers, what’s good out there.

[brian rogers]

As the subject says. What’s good out there? I want to run full tin quandary flaps.
and thermostat. What fits? And what size thinking 1 5/8” on a 2165, 120 cam and kit. Heads are the choke point for now but will get a Fisher book quick port with 40/35 valve. CB Panchito are in the plans a few years down the road. It’s just a driver.

Berg GB933S is a 1-5/8" that cleans the thermostat. that's what I have.

Last Fall i built a 2017 with a pair of CB 1-5/8" heater boxes matched with a A1 stainless header.

Thermostat fits just fine.

Where that came from is spell check hell.
I want to run flaps and even able to use the thermostat. But my run time is mainly late spring to mid fall. If I get a condensation problem I’m armed.

I have 2 A-1 exhausts. Not impressed.

AA sidewinders usually clear. My current one clears with no bracket grinding whatsoever. I did two others, and they needed a notch cut out on the brackets to clear.

Thanks, Glenn.

Glenn, what’s with the extra support on the rear of your motor?

It’s looking like I’m going Berg as all the older builders are gone. My main quandary is fit. As Berg said oncest upon a time cry once.

You want the 933S if you want the merged header to clear the thermostat.

They make headers (Al headers does) for use of heaterboxes too.

The muffler can be junk. But the 1 5/8" ceramic coat from carcraftstore.com worked fine for me for several years. I did wind up lopping off the muffler it came with and replacing it with a flowmaster. It is an empi brand header. The difference between the empi and bugpack was the empi tucked up into the rear while the bugpack hung down and scraped on everything.

I've said this before, however. If I ever build another NA street motor, I'll run the wasp from CSP

Suddenly the berg system is a bargain
