I have the dual out stainless header like Vintage Inlines and eBay sells, the problem I have is the back set of tubes point toward my starter on my 250 and I need to do something to guide them away.
I was thinking, at first is just to cut up the bolt-on downpipes and have them re-welded with a fairly severe bend at the very beginning, I can't weld stainless so I would have to find someone to do it for me.
The other thing I was wondering if it would be possible is having the flange milled with a slope to make them tilt out slightly. the flange is 1/2" thick and if it was milled from full-thickness at the bottom to 1/4"-3/8" thick at the top (take either an 1/8" or 1/4" thickness off the top) it would tilt the collectors out enough I could just put the downpipes on as-is with a little modification to hook up to my exhaust pipes.
The only thing that I thought about is the bolts would no longer rest flat against the face of the flange, but would it be enough to cause an issue?
Looking for thoughts on this.
See Ya,
Mike
