Im also concerned about the lip on the head end. looks much much deeper than that on the stock head. Might be able to jerry rig it or have it cut down somehow. It looks considerably shorter than the stock header but thats an easy fix.
Then again it might be a perfect fit. I'll find out within a week one way or another.
Based on the dimensions that Peter gave me, the SR500 header is almost exactly the size shape of what we need but the flange mount at the top is slightly different with more narrow bolt hole centers. But it should be pretty easy to make the adjustment for us, maybe as easy as sliding our own flange on to the pipe...would be nice.
