    Sweet, thanks. Also, I forgot to ask the first time, but what are the header's flange thickness and tubing gauge? I couldn't find it on the website.

    Thanks! (y)

    I would think that you are going to have to use a set of the 3/8th thick header spacer flanges in order to make the Crites headers work on an 8.2 deck motor . Correct?

    Like the ones Rick book used to make the 6208 Hookers work . (Pictured here) http://www.spdexhaust.com/

    Aren't 1 3/4" headers a bit large for a 302?
    They certainly won't hold any velocity in that large a tube.
