Same as Bug pack or? thanks a lot.. Bye Tom Title: Re: merged header which brand, good choice?? Post by: Rune on May 06, 2007, 11:09:28 am I like my Gene Berg 1 5/8 merged header. Fits very well under the apron. Don't even have to pull it from the engine when I need to take the motor out.

The A1 I used previously is well made, but much more expensive than a Kymco. I had a 1-5/8" merged kymco as well, great fit! Title: Re: merged header which brand, good choice?? Post by: Tom G. on May 06, 2007, 20:13:10 pm i wanted to put an 1 1/2", because i have the small valves (35,5x32) and wanted good tourque in low and midrange rpms...
Has kymco such a size?? And where can i buy kymco-headers..?? Bye Tom Title: Re: merged header which brand, good choice?? Post by: The Ideaman on May 06, 2007, 20:44:23 pm Yes, Kymco sells 1.5" headers. (949)642-1835 is the number. If I remember, they are $109 or so.

This is all the stuff they have advertised on the samba at the moment. Title: Re: merged header which brand, good choice?? Post by: Zach Gomulka on May 06, 2007, 21:25:23 pm luke, do they sell those with a large flange as well? I used a 1 1/2" Kymco on my hot rod 1600. It worked well. You wouldnt want a large flange with a header that small. Title: Re: merged header which brand, good choice?? Post by: Diederick/DVK on May 06, 2007, 21:52:43 pm why not?
i have a large flange on my current non-merged 1 1/2" ::) Title: Re: merged header which brand, good choice?? Post by: Zach Gomulka on May 06, 2007, 22:01:51 pm why not? i have a large flange on my current non-merged 1 1/2" ::) The point of having a small flange is to speed up the exhaust flow when it reaches the collector. Same thing as a venturi in a carburetor. When a river is wide, the water flows slowly. When it gets narrower, the water increases in speed. Title: Re: merged header which brand, good choice??
