Re: Exhaust header bash
Yeah, I saw that this morning. They needed to do a test of going from a 3" flange to a 2.5" reducer pipe. I wonder what kind of difference it would have produced.

Re: Exhaust header bash
Saw that on PY too - amazing!
Now what about the mashed bottoms at the collector - how would it do then?

Re: Exhaust header bash
I for sure thought the way those headers ended up with make a difference, but what amounted to nothing was the result. The variance was within normal tolerances.

Re: Exhaust header bash
Yeah, with at least a collector on them it may have made a slight difference.
