I'm looking for someone who has ! Or a place I can buy vintage drag pipes / headers for my hemi ? I been looking around but can't find the vintage style . Like the ones from late 50s. And 60s ! Slingshot or altered drag ! Any wed sites would help ! Thanks
They look awesome ! But I want a set that have that kinda twist and roll back to them ! I have a home made set now ! But the are straight !
Back in those days everyone made their own,so look for some survivors!!!! Header Companys didnt make any in those days(1950s)
I know ! But now a days ! Some people are making some cool looking ones ! Just seeing if there's any one out there !
There is some guy on ebay from PA that will build them for you. Pricing did not seem too bad. Mine came from Branden Murrey at racecarparts.com decent guy and fairly easy to deal with. I have seen him offer to weld up a pair that had a cracked strap at a nostalgia race.
Like alot of the other guys I made my own too. I think I have some in process shots somewhere....I'll look Try this http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/album.php?albumid=5089
Yeah I cut out flanges and bought 8 U bends. But I have seen nice crome Zoom headers for sale at Pleasenton swap meet. PS remember to drill weep holes at the bottom of the bend. Other wise fuel can pool there when spinning the motor and if you are looking at the metering block when it does fire you may find your self covered in burning fuel. You may wounder how I know this. Well I learned this just before I learned about 1st degree, 2nd degree and 3rd degree burns. Red skin, blistered skin and charred skin. Another thing I learned that day is those cheap plastic watches burn really good and are almost impossable to get out once they start.
