    well with a lot of help from a good friend of mine finished up a set of headers for my 32. Kinda copied the look of the old Hedman headers with a 4 into 2 to 1 and ending with a lake pipe with cutouts, Im very happy with how they came out. sorry for the lousy pics,louie

  3. They look great. Did you use u-bends or did you have a pipe bender?

    I've always liked the looks of that style header. I've got a couple of sets of old Hedman's hanging on the second story wall just waiting for the right project to come along.

    thanks for all the compliments guys. I used U bends that I got from Stahl for the primaries and the cut out is right under the center of the door. Kinda tried to copy something out of a Don Montgomery book. Should sound pretty good too uncorked,Thanks again,Louie

    Dude, those headers are sweet. I am a big fan of nicely fabricated headers. We just built a 32 roadster at my shop and we tried to mimmick the Belond "w" style headers. Nice work man.
