motorsport auto header question

[Guest Anonymous]

I recently bought the 3into 2 header from MS auto, it came with the y adapter and in the instructions it says i shouldnt weld it?? Im thinkin ok whatever and put it all in, when i start the car the y adapter gets extremely loose and is about to fall off!! is there really any reason not to weld it, if not then it's gonna say hi to mr MIG.

Try two Marmon clamps. You'll be grateful the next time you pull the motor or the header.

I purchased the MSA 6-2 header and I welded mine and then welded a 3" collector on to that. I did cut it down first so it really isn't that long and dropping the engine in was no problem.

i have the same 6/2 msa header and did the following to increase ground clearance and ease removal. shortened the 2 secondary pipes on the header by approx. 2", shortened the 2 pipes on the "collector" by approx. 2" and then had them enlarged to slip over the header secondaries, welded them together. then cut off the collector just after the 2/1 joint and added a header [u can use a 2 or 3 bolt flange] flange, added the same to the exhaust that mates to it. i now have the pipes neatly tucked up [look at any z that has this header and u'll notice the header hangs down about 3-4" below the frame rails-not good on a lowered z], and the header/exhaust is easy to unbolt as well.
