loop header
Has any one tried one of the loop headers that nr-racing sells?? Its the first one listed under bugle and loop on his exhuast page http://www.nr-racing.com/exhaust.htm. Just curious what people think of it. I know that I shouldnt purchase things just for the cool factor, but I love the sound of them. This would be going on a long rod, big valve, big bore clone. any thoughts? |

I've never had any dealings with Ice, I had Rex at Robertson's Kart Pipes make it, as far as picking one up 5 H.P. not even on an good day would that happen, will it pick it up ? yes, but not 5 horse,lol. How ever told you that must messin' with an "different type of pipe".

Re: loop header
So whats the deal with the loop header then?
Just a longer header for more low end torque or is there more going on here?

Re: loop header
So exactly how long are these clone loop headers?
Whats the tube size and are the single or multy stage?
I found some software for tuning pipes and would like to run the number on these long pipes to better understand them.....
I ran the numbers on my Petter stationary engine and an 11 foot 1 1/4 pipe is a good starting point lol....
