[DeTomaso] Header mock-up

[Corey Price]

Mike,

Unfortunately the vendor who is selling the coyote headers came out with them after I bought my header fab parts and so here I am. The cost of their headers is astronomical too. I have pictures of them so I can kinda see what they are doing. I can TIG weld and fabricate, so I'll just do my own thing here. 

I also like being able to choose my own collector, materials, primary diameter, flanges, V-band connectors, etc. 

I'll be working on the layout to get a bit better equal length primaries as I stated. I was aware of the forward bends. This pic was just a proof in concept of a mock-up using PVC pipe.

Typically the pipe emanating from the rearmost cylinder initially turns forward, before then turning 180 degrees to the rear. This dictates a certain amount of vertical height so the bends aren’t impossibly sharp.
