Art & Inspiration WILD PIPES...cool and crazy headers picture thread

Not mine

 

Might be a repeat, I love this car! It's the only picture of it that I could find. Anyone have any info on it or, know anything about it?

 

Very clean & beautiful pipes Don!

 

a few we've done at work

 

Either that is one big header or that lady is just a peanut.

I have always liked the 180 degree headers, a bit if a nightmare on a car where they have to pass under the pan but I have always thought that they are just cool.

 

That Truck header dwarfs the girl!

 

Don---
Iv'e seen that big one before but don't recall what it was made for.
What's the story on it?

 

It's what happens when header builders are bored

 

Here are mine. Just some decent weed burners on the old Mopar 440. Thinking about putting some baffle in them but till then just piss off the neighbors and smile and wave.

 

Kiwi, great thread.
Some sick headers here shows some twisted thinking.

 

I noticed them mostly on Ford FE engines but I would assume others brands had them too..A friend years ago had a 66' F'lane with FE engine and I think Thorly 180° [maybe?] headers, impressive but everyone thought the same thing; musta been a bitch to get them in!! I think the pipes hit everything possible, oil filter, starter, oil pan, steering linkage and not too much ground clearence..But they sure did look neat!!

 

I saw a set on a 426 hemi once and they were bent that way not made from pieces the way that we do at home. The guy said you lay the headers in and set the engine on top of them. We were talking headers and gong fast and he said roll under my car and have a look. I was so busy being impressed I failed to ask the brand.

 

Some truly beautiful stuff, then theres the what the hell? gotta get a pic of my buddies truck for here it's definitely one of those where after all the cage and body was done then they remembered they had to put in a motor and headers..
The ones on the Boss 9 may cause a slight power loss but gotta admit they do look kinda cool. definitely gonna have to rethink my header plan for my sons rod..

 

Seen this car at a car show if Ft. Worth years ago

 

Those are some wild pipes on that one!

 

Ha! And the name attached to the photo is "8 of Everything"!

 

Some from the George Klass gasser page.....

 

My old friend Dick Leibfritz from the Bay Area.

 

I had pipes just like those "Texans" !

 

??? Sand Lake???

 

Cool picture looks like a bunch of birds with no feathers on there wings..

 

Yeah, 1969

 

Spagetti art lota work

 

Kinda Jones'n for some more "wild pipes"guys.

 

I wonder what the horse power and torque differences are between the open individual pipes versus the collector style pipes?

What about the anti-reversion factor?
