![]() So I need to cut out a header tube and re-route it for clearance. I might need to make it aout of a couple of bend sections. Where the tube merges into the collector, how close can I get to the adjacent tube (so that you can weld all around the tube)?
Hope this makes sense.

![]() The question makes sense to ME, but the wonder to me is, why not run the engine to heat them/it up, and then take a oxyacetylene torch to it, and pry it into position??....maybe stick a ice cube on adjacent shit you scared of for the heat???
I mean like WTF, after a night run I popped the hood years ago, and found the headers a BRIGHT orange, pushing yellow color....gotta know they not far from being soft..... ![]()

![]() Just wondering if something like this could help? If the area is before the collector - maybe , but at the collector - maybe not?
![]() Likewise I've seen bolt kits to slip the two together along the length of the tube - not like a hose clamp. I plan on using some of these to get the exhaust in place and slip remove. Cheers - Jim
