How long before you add hangers. Mine are 23" long. Don't want to crack a header tube.

Those are pretty long to get peak torque, should be
in the 16"-18" total length in most cases... depends
on how they are attached but most of the time I dont
put a hanger on them... if you have a long straight
section on the primary before the collector then thats
a long moment arm and then yes I would put a hanger on

If I remember you said the collector needed to be in multiples of 18" The total is 32" from the end of the primary tubes. I would have made then 18" but the crossmember wouldnt alow it. As for a bracket adding one horizonally off the side?
