Pinto exhaust headers
DaveFJ - 25/6/07 at 10:47 AM

Fitting my exhaust at the weekend and have found that the header from cylinder 1 will not align with the others for the collector it's about 1/2" out and will not flex into place.

they are tiger supplied items......

tried bending using lots of heat and a scaffold tube but no hope...

so what do you reckon? do exhaust fitters generally have bending kit?

Always seems the same at the moment - one step forward, 2 steps back

cheers

Assuming you bought the item from Tiger I would be on the phone to them to get it rectified. 1/2" out is quite lot IMO.

Thing is I have spent hours polishing them now..... I'd rather 'adjust' what i have

Sorry, it seems you are a little unluky
But when you will be on the road you will forget it and will have lot of happyness, belive me, I had lots of problem too.

I had the same problem with mine, in the end i think i put them in the collector loose and forced them. not great but it works.
