Thankyou Ed,
Last night I had an epiphany. I ended up taking a 7/8" od aluminum coupler and JB welding it to the header. This alows me to use some of the blue turbo hose that works with gasoline temps and is still pliable.Now both header and pipe will accept the 7/8" reinforced silicone turbo hose. I also JB welded a ridge of a wire tie to the pipe and that with the flaired coupler end,
I fully expect to be able to just wire tie the coupler. The pattern guys are running this set up with the Syssa 180 on gas and having excellent luck. I thank you for the help and hope I can make this work.


Thanks again,
Rick
