    I Like the look of headers with oil filter canister used as a collector What is the diameter of the average oil filter canister ? Or what size regular collector would the cap fit over properly for a good fit ? What material is use as a gasket under the cap ? Lets see your pics of headers with oil filter canister collectors.

    Ya think so?
    I disagree.

    Look at Mr Dean Lowe's truck......pretty killer Krate

    32 Hudson..I can't speak for Dean.... But i used Ford Truck flathead cannisters.I just liked the longer feel.

    I guess I missed the key word - canister. I pictured a Fram filter with the guts removed. My bad. :eek:

    Use of these canisters is very traditional, and cool. Isn't Kiwi Kev using them on his gasser? How's it done Jeff?

    Ah no worries...:)

    Slowly cut into the pitched end and fit your tubes in,..and complete some nice welds.When you look at these old cannisters.it becomes quite evident.I am sure you do not have to use a Ford product...there are many varations of this made from othe manufacters.
