header

I have a question about header pipes. From what I've heard the main restriction of a stock exhaust system are the small header pipes. Boxenstopp sells some that are 4 mm bigger, and I am wondering what are the size of various aftermarket header pipes...IE marks...UFO? Someone could buy the...

I took off my headers and they were super rusted. I sanded and made them pretty smooth and I'm going to paint with header paint. It's rated for 1300-2000 degrees F. It doesn't mention using a primer. Does anyone recommend priming headers even though can doesn't call for it? If so, should...

Hindle lists two different headers. One is a "race" header, the other is not. Both seem to be 4/1 designs. One allows for the high pipe, one does not. My question is, does anyone know the differences in header design? Any pics? I did do a forum search, but did not find the information. Any...

This is a Kerker K series 4 into 1 header muffler. 2.5" ID inlet, street series baffle. It is scratched and has a few dents on it that could be massaged out. This would be the perfect can to modify and experiment with for that perfect custom sound then have it straightend and ceramic or...

Installed some Supertrapps this weekend without much trouble but I noticed that the left rear header had some "play" in it. It'd move about 1/2" front to back like it's loose. Ran out of time to pull the exhaust covers to see whats going on. Is this normal? Or something to be concerned about? To...

New, old member here. Been riding motorcycles for over 35 years. I had a awesome show and go 1991 Vmax back in 2008. I joined here back then and got some great info and advice. Sold it during a weak moment when big $$$$ was offered for it but I knew I would have another someday. Have gone...

edit

I broke one.....need a replacement(s) :bang head: hard to find online...... anyone??:ummm:

I have a stock exhaust system that I just got off eBay and its rough with some road rash. I scuffed up the mufflers to paint them with vht flameproof paint but I've heard negative things about painting the headers, so I was thinking of using exhaust wrap on the headers and painting the mufflers...

Does anyone know if the exhaust in this link can be purchsed in the USA?\ http://www.exactrep.com/acatalog/index.html 'EAGLE' 4-2-1. Complete System (Road and Race Spec.)

Quick question for the experts: What size wrenches will I need to remove the stock exhaust header?

Fella's, i have to ask a dumb question; on my 92 vmax, right front header pipe is dark blue and the left is chrome colored , just a little blueing . Which one is lean and which one is rich? Bought it recently and a/f caps were gone---some one has been adjusting the carbs. Thanks old pete

Just wondering since there such a good pipe such a waist to be used on a stock pipe

Difference in size of 85 to 86 front header pipes Does anyone know if the front stock header pipes off a 85 gen 1 will fit an 86 gen 1 vmax without any mods to stock exhaust system.

Does anyone have a front header pipe off the bike and a set of calipers that would get a measurement for me. I am looking for the I.D. at the head end of a front pipe. Thanks, Gary

I have a kerker exhaust on my bike and its in pretty rough shape overall. The biggest eyesore is the badly peeling chrome on the can. Im talking big chunks peeled off exposing the dull metal underneath. I honestly never knew chrome peeled, but it is. I dont want to re-chrome the can right at...

I put this out on a Harley forum and was surprised at what I came up with for my FLH so figured I'd put it out here as well. I am a welder/fabricator by trade and like to build my own exhausts but have no access to a pipe bender or good pipe. What I am looking for is anyone who has old header...

Hi folks: I was able to find and purchase a 4-1 Kerker system for my Fazer (FZX700). However, there are some pretty sizeable dents in the first bend of a couple of the header pipes, and I'm wondering if any of you know a person/company I could hire to remove these dents? Thanks muchly...

Hey guys, just noticed my stainless header pipes are getting a gold/copper like color to them. Tried reading up on what may cause that..I'm somewhat getting the feeling that this is natural with stainless but wanted to make sure I'm not running lean. Is this gold/copper color a sign that iits...

I pulled my S-Trapps & rear headers for jet hot coating and the coater had a little issue with the "right side" #3 cylinder header. I went ahead and picked up the S-trapps and the "left" #1 cylinder header in hopes of getting one side installed this weekend. Anyway, when I removed the headers...
