I ran individual pipes, no crossover, on my 72 Ambo for about 15 years. There still on it - the new owner likes them. It has stock headers married to 3" glass packs. The thing motors and sounds great to boot.

Well, and now I'm really curious. Has anyone on this list tried a system without the crossover and NOT been able to make the bike run great? Or even better, chime in if you have been successful in removing the crossover from the equation. Ray pax sine tedio 73 Eldo "19"

Dear Hacksaw
If you are going to cut up your new header pipes you might as well use the old ones.
If I remember this correctly A crossover close to the exhaust port will increase flow (less back pressure) having the same effect as longer velocity stacks. Theoretically giving you more low - mid range grunt.
The exact location and dimensions of the velocity stack and pipe could take some trial and error. BUT the Del'Orto carbs have all sorts of adjustablity.

I just got a new/old set of header pipes to replace my NASTY ones and have no stock crossover. My question is: Would there be any 'benefit to' or 'problem from' having a crossover welded into the header pipes across the front of the engine? My thought is to use something just under the header pipe diameter. Thanks, Hacksaw
