Title: larger exhaust head pipe Post by Super Thumper on 12/20/12 at 19:46:28 After searching through the tech articles looking for anything on a larger inside diameter head pipe I found nothing. As far as a Raask pipe is concerned...I contacted Raask in Sweden and was told to contact their US distributors. There are only two US distributors and I contacted them and was quoted a WHOLESALE price of $595.00!! Does anybody know where to get a larger I.D. head pipe? Don't need mufflers or internal baffles, just a head pipe with the proper flange to connect to the Savage exhaust port. |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by LANCER on 12/21/12 at 02:59:31 I found another fabricator who is willing to do a prototype header using 1 5/8 OD x 1 1/2 ID pipe. It is in progress now. I spoke with him just a few days ago and hopefully it will be ready and shipped by the time I get home after Christmas. I don't have a reliable price range yet but will put that out as soon as I know. It's amazing how difficult it Is to get someone to do a simple tube. Personally, I think it is because it is too simple and they cannot make enough compared to a complex custom header for cars. |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by paulmarshall on 06/10/13 at 16:42:23 I had mine custom made with a single sleeve.Been using this for a couple of years now. Be careful you can go too big. Don't go bigger than 1.6 |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by teabowl13 on 06/10/13 at 20:09:33 I'm not sure what size it is, but I'm fairly certain that the RYCA headers are larger than stock. You can contact them for more info, but I believe they are around $350. I'm pretty sure that is for their High pipe; scrambler style... Lancer is amazing; I'm not knocking him at all; when he gets his done, they will be top-notch, but I wanted to throw that out there... |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by paulmarshall on 06/10/13 at 23:01:50 I got mine made for $150NZ. Surely someone in the USA can make you guys up some header pipes. |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by markbacon on 06/11/13 at 18:29:24 NZ$150 sounds pretty good - where did you get it made Paul? I'm in Wellington. |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by justin_o_guy2 on 06/12/13 at 05:13:31 Ive never seen anyone make a Muffler,, Ive seen mufflers put in, pipes bent & cut & welded, but MUfflers always came out of a box. |

Sorry I should have been a bit clearer. I live just out side Hamilton and the shop I use is Coby exhaust systems. They manufacture mufflers and performance exhausts. |

Like the other 2 I talked with in the past about making a header, it was all good at first but then just trailed off into nothing. I think the low dollar project just looses out to the high dollar projects they have ... or claim to have. For professional shops that advertise all sorts capabilities in metal work they do not deliver. They don't even make an attempt even after I send them a stock header to use as a guide on how to shape it. The last shop I had contact with actually came back and said they had to out-source the making of the mounting flange ... yea, the round flange that slips up on the header with the 2 holes in it, that holds the header to the head. This "Professional" metal fab shop, with all sorts of photos on their website of the complex headers, custom tube frames for race cars and such, was unable to do it themselves so they had to out-source it. Yep, that's what he said. My response was that I had made one from a couple of auto header flanges I got from JCW, cut and welded them. It did not look all that good (my poor welding skill) but it did work. I think it p__s__d him off because he never responded again. Anyway, that was not long before the move to OK and I've not done anything on it since. |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by paulmarshall on 06/17/13 at 13:37:06 Seriously you guys can't source someone to make up a header pipe. I can't believe that. :o I could prob get them made here and ship them to the US. Not sure I would want to commit myself to it. My guy made mine while i waited. |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by Steve H on 06/17/13 at 15:14:02 Paul, The problem with shipping to the US would probably be the cost. It might make it prohibitive to do it. But, it might be worth finding out. |

Can he put them out for less than $100 each so there is room for shipping and retail profit ? |

Title: Re: larger exhaust head pipe Post by jcstokes on 06/17/13 at 18:02:57 A $1US should buy about $1.19 to $1.21 $NZ, Pay Pals exchange rate would be worse, possibly as bad as $1.15 $NZ. I've no idea of freight charges. |
