Guest Phil1934 Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Looks like Speedway is casting some that might work instead of block hugger headers. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=510170&page=4&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=14&fpart=1 Hit "Attachment" at top of first post.

Tim240z Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Look very promising: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 14, 2004 Share Posted August 14, 2004 Wow those almost look like they might fit on the 280ZX's with the big steering gear box set ups.... Which would make sense now because I built my own header! Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 Wow, I like those! They look a lot more elegant than Sanderson's cast headers. Can't wait until someone gives them a try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80LS1T Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 If those ram horns would work on my car I would take the headers I have on it now off an put those on(after I sent them out to JETHOT to be coated). They will probably flow just as good as a set of block huggers but they will be quiter because they are thicker. I like the sleeper effect but with headers on my car its kind of hard to pull that off. Are these still a "maybe" as far as a production piece? Thats kinda what I got out of the posts on that site.

Heavy Z Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 Thanks, those look really nice. The link from the original post doesn't work for me, oh well. I had rams horn manifolds before, and the change to blockhuggers was noticeable, although I did the whole exhaust together so hard to tell how much was the headers. These look great though, and w/ 2.5" collectors too. I'd consider going back to a set of these if my headers ever go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 I just look at the Speedway Motors site and they are avaliable. I also just emailed them to see what kind of measurements they have on them. I think for the 280ZX's with the big ol' gear box steering set up there is about 2"-2.25" of clearance between the bare head and the gear box at the center ports. Man if these fit that sure would make it nice for the guys looking for a set of manifolds that would flow decent and they arent too expesive(if you ask me) and if you thermal coated them they sure would look nice! Guy ps. I'll post what info I get as soon as I get it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Well here are the measurements that they gave me.... *The red is from the mating surface to the farthest part sticking out on the center ports. *The green is from the center of the bolt holes to the top of the manifold *The blue is from the center of the bolt holes to the bottom of the collector. I just measured the distance from the center ports on my head the gear box and its about 2.75". So it doesnt look like this will work for us 280ZX guys.
