I just got today an 086 ofna pipe but i noticed when i try to put it in my PBS that the manifold is a bit short in order to place the pipe as the black stock one was plus the 086 is a bit thick and therefore touches the fuel tank.Also i can't place the body shell.Do i need a new longer manifold?

No you can get it to fit the way it is,,you will need to bend and re-adjust the pipe suport wire a little,,,also if needed you can flare open the header a little to alter the angle of the pipe so it fits square with the header,,I had to do that a little too

look here,,,same pipe

Am not sure how to flare open the header.Am concerned that I might destroy the header if i try to alter its angle.

It's very soft aluminum,,I've had to do it at the track after getting t-boned

just get it warm, not red hot just warm and take a couple large screw drivers and pry it open a little, it doesn't take much,you'll be amased how easy it is

Am trying to get warm the manifold in order to alter the angle of the pipe so it will fit square with the header.It's an ofna pipe for an ofna car why I have to go through this ****?[:@].Btw my manifold doesn't seem to have the flange you've mentioned.

That pipe is made by Hong Nor,,Not Hao Bo,,What can I say.
It isn't designed specifically for the Hyper7????
Maybe it fits the Violator perfect,,,who knows

You know part of this hobby is working on the cars,,Not every after market part fits every car perfectly,,I think this is a very small price to pay for saving $40-$50,,,I had the same issue with the RB pipe I had before. For me it's no big deal I like spending time tinkering with things,,,this is a 10 minute fix,,, no big deal to me

I know but i ain't got the things on me to warm the header and i want so much to run the new pipe and indeed i did save a lot of $ with this pipe....

Throw it in the oven for 10minutes?? what's the problem
It would probly bend fine without heat anyway

lolol...am a bit reserved on throw it on the oven although I may try it right now.I tried bend it without warm it but i didn't manage to succeed.

OK victorious. i got pissed and tried to use more power without warming it.I let my fear of destroying it away.Now its fine[8D].Fortune favours the brave[&:].

Thanks headenough for all your replies so far.Am touched from your concern to reply my questions.

Us Hyper owners need to stick together,,,we get very little respect from the Mugen and K-car snobs around herej/k

Now go have fun,,that motor will come alive with the better pipe

Btw I noticed that the 086 comes with a short manifold.Do you know the # of short and long manifold?

excuse me!!!!!!!!!!!im one of those k car and mugen owners but i also use a hyper 7 alot for racing

I won't hold that against you,,,



j/k = just kidding
