[DeTomaso] Different Headers

[John Bentley (jab)]

Ok, that's a nice shot.  It does seem from this angle its going to be
ok, but I would definitely plan on a heat shield.  That last thing you
want at high speed is hot tires!  Maybe after a couple laps around a
track you could just check your tires temps across each tread width and
see how it looks.

John this gives you a little bit of a view of where the exhaust is in
relation to the tires in the normal cruising position:

It is actually even further away then what it looks like because the
tire is so close to the camera.
