911 R headers

Hi all,

project is moving along.. still getting the undercoat etc off. I see now why some choose to media blast or strip. haha.. I was wanting to see if you all know anyone that is building replica R headers/exhausts ??? thanks.. here is the latest pic from yesterday. we have had family over this past week and weekend so the work slowed. hoping to be ready for paint in a week or so.

david

David-
You can just strip the sheetmetal surrounds off of a set of early heat exchangers and sandblast and coat them and have a nice set of "factory" 1-1/2" headers. A stock muffler with the "Up-Fixing" 2-out conversion makes a great complement to this, or you can get an aftermarket sport exhaust.

I have an extra set of headers if you need them.

Hi Tom,

Thanks. Yes I had seen some posts on adding the extra outlet. I have a Bursch 2 in 1 out muffler. Not ready to do anything yet, probably in Jan as the car gets finished but when you get a chance could you email me a pic and price on your headers. Thanks.

We make R mufflers just not headers. Pelican has them listed in their catalog under M&K mufflers

Thanks For the kind words

I am out of town at the moment, but will email you when I get home. If you are looking for new headers, George Narbel at European Racing Headers in Nevada is the way to go. He makes the "shorties", which can be mated to long megaphones for racing, or adapted to stock mufflers with street "S" extensions. He cannot duplicate the factory bends, though, as he uses a mandrel-bent technique to fabricate his headers, and this requires approx. 3-4" straight runs between bends. Cost will be a little south of $600 with the street adapters for a set of his with a high-temp black paint finish. A factory conversion set like mine will be about $3-400, depending on the coating used (ceramic, aluminum metal-spray, hi-temp paint, etc.), and cannot be used with the long megaphones.

I've had these headers since the 70's, never used them and I'm not sure what they were made for. I assume they were for a megaphone system...

those are for a standard dual in dual out muffler Or for a turbo setup They look like they would work for megaphones as well

Yes, those are just like the ones George makes. If you take off the street adapters, the long megaphones fit. With them on (as in the pic), the stock 2-in early mufflers mate up.

Tom,

how do those compare to your pair?? I was hoping to be able to use the headers and have the option of swapping out between a set of the stingers and my bursch 2 in 1 out..

no time to work on her today, real work has been rough this week.. off til sat after today so will be able to get closer to paint.. I cant wait to get that done, then the fun starts.. Getting to order all the goodies.. haha..

Mine are "longies"--they have solid, one-piece, secondary pipes down to the muffler flange. You can still bolt on a short megaphone, "stinger" or straight pipe section at the muffler flanges, but you are limited to about 12-17" length or they stick out too far past the bumper. You can't use the long "cookie cutter" megaphones with mine (I think they're around 25-30" long or so?)

The removeable "S" pipe section on the "shorties" allows you to shorten the exhaust system to use the longer megaphones, with the added complication of two more flanges (and associated bolts and gaskets.) You need a custom hanger setup fabricated in either case, to support the non-stock mufflers/megaphones or straight pipes, and you can switch back and forth.
