Hi Charlie,

I've got a pair of those spacers, but it doesn't make sense to me...the
inner diameter spacer fits over the outside of the flange on my header
pipe and inside the flange that secures the header pipe to the head. I
think I'm missing something here!

Hi Greg,
I used the stock bits the same as Joe. The spacers I used was the
one-piece type - like a short section of pipe with a cut in it.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the information. One question for clarification: For the
pieces that fit between the header pipe flange and the collar that gets
bolted to the head, were they of the two piece split collar type?

Greg,
All I did was grind off the short spigot on the Loop header so
the flange was flat, then used the standard parts for the T/T3 pipes
that fit between the flange (on the header) and the exhaust collar (that



gets bolted to the head). OEM parts.

I'm going to be mounting a set of T3 heads on my Ambo...but still use
the loop header pipes with just the end chopped off. I know others on
this list have done this. What size pipe did you find/use to fit the
diameter of the header pipe properly?
