Default RE: Pipe Setup Question

....yep, you can trim some off the front of the pipe if necessary. In this application I
was limited from shortening the header because of the pressure nipple. I had slid
the pipe as far forward as I could. The Zip-tie is to keep the pipe away from the
nipple.

If the pipe will slide over the header , or the header will slide over the pipe,you
can slide one over the other and shorten the overall length with out cutting it right away.

You can see how short my system is to get maximum RPM out of it, 18,100 on the ground.
The engine still has the original plug in it I got with the engine years ago.

I have heard it said that you should not slide one pipe over the other. It doesn't matter,
you can do it....no problem.
