Where do you buy header pipe and bends?
 

Hello all... Im getting ready to mock up a twin turbo setup on one of my spare motors.. Its going to be on one of my 41' motors.

My question is, where do you buy header tubing, 45. 90, and U bends? Im looking for 1in or 1 1/4in. Any thoughts? Ive already made my flanges.. Just need pipe.

Im sure ill get negative remarks, but just to put people at ease, its going to be more for looks than function. I will keep the boost only high enough to hear the turbos. Not looking for any HP gain.

You're going to put twin turbos on a '41 flathead V8 engine?

Do you really mean 1 inch pipe?? That's small. Here is 1 1/2 in a kit: http://www.speedwaymotors.com/Assort...Inch,1731.html

When I built my hotrod, I went to a local muffler shop, bought a stick of steel and asked them if they would put some bends in it. Once I explained that I was building a hotrod, they just charged me for the tube and bent it for free.

Just noticed that I posted in the wrong forum... Should have been in Early V8

Seth.. Ive been thinking about it for a long time.. Very rare to see one, so Im gonna just do it.. I know its not the smartest thing.

When you get going on this, post some updates on the early V8 page. I'd like to see it. I'm sure Old Ron, Walt and others would too.

summit racing has those bends, they are smooth bends, no wrinkles,

Try Red's Headers in California (good website). They just made the header for a Model T Speedster I'm doing. Top notch work.

Burns Stainless. http://www.burnsstainless.com/ They will cut to custom sizes if needed.
