what do you guys make headers with?

exhaust tubing?? what do you guys use? Thanks Nate

 

I use manderal u bends, and whatever I can find in the line of flanges. Usually cut up flanges from an old trashed set of headers. But you can buy them new from companies like Headmon or*******.
Also unless you're building Tri-Ys its easier to buy collectors. Same sources.
I probably got a set of collectors laying around here if you need them. They'll need a little work but they'll usable if I still have a set.

 

Headers by Ed has a pretty good selection of flanges, bends, collectors, cones and kits.

Yup...what Pork-n-beaner said.

 

Shoenfeld Headers sell a "Box-O-Bends", pieces of pipe with various bends in them, for $80 or so. There is enough in a box to do a couple sets of headers. these are all mandrel bends, and you can but the size pipe you need in the box. It's a hard to beat deal.

 

What Enjenjo said. I've used these too - you can almost build 2 sets with one box of bends and they're cheap
