Re: Headers project has begun!
The Hedman/Pad headers were not equal length, no attempt to get them even close. They just welded long tubes pretty much straight to the side through the upper and lower frame tubes and slapped a collector. My bet is that Hedman has a fixture and tube patterns. They were worth about half of what they cost which explains why they didn't sell. The way Eric is doing his is the best way to really pick up some flow and evacuation.
With the Hedman's no longer a player, maybe someone will fab a set of equal lengths and actually make fixtures for production and sell about 10 sets. I know I'd be interested. When Cobra Fang (Tom) did his, patterned after Kel's 8 into 1 design; it cost him a mint because it was a one-off and done by a super fabricator, not a full time header professional. No fixture was made so set number 2 will cost just as much as the prototype. Opportunity missed in my opinion.
If you find a reasonable solution, let us know. My shorties are really not up to supporting any hp increases.
