Finished my first set of headers a while back. 2 1/4" to 2 3/8" with 4" collectors. Just sent them to Jet Hot for coating!

Right side. This one removes with only removing a couple of the plugs. Driver's side requires removing steering column and starter, plus a couple plugs. At least I don't have to move the engine!

If you do a couple of things to them you will save them from cracking..
cut each tube where they are tied together and drill one of the 2 holes
on each tube a little bigger(doesnt matter what size hole).. that way they
can grow with the heat( they will expand so they need to slide a bit)
or they worp .. looks good.. I built a ton of headers at Chrysler
EDIT
this is a set I built for my W-9.. totally equal on all tubes

Mr P Body, you're saying cut the flange between the tubes?

Yes I am.. after you trim them up nicely then drill one bolt hole a little
larger per tube

Mr. P! Check out those flanges he's using. I wouldn't cut them. Elongate the holes and be done. The only time I have cut flanges is for ease of R&R. Nice job Lifsgrt!

Still gonna need to cut them.. they may worp in those areas or not..
but if you cut them that guarantees that they move.. just needs the
bigger hole in each tube

Do you think the collectors need to be that long for that motor and the racing your doing?
What are your plans for the operating range in RPM for that motor off of the push car?

Hey Cab, I had not cut the collectors in these pics and they were still 18" long. I cut them at 13.4" from the ends of the tubes based on Pipemax data and other input I received prior to shipping them to Jet Hot for coating. It will be interesting to see how much steam this engine makes with my first effort at headers!

Hey guys, update on my 498" Bonneville bullet using THE Block. I cut the collectors to 13.4" and had them Jet Hot coated. Finally got it on the dyno at Best Machine. This endurance build with a single Quick Fuel Dominator made 947hp at 7400rpm and 690tq at 6800rpm through my first time built 2 1/4"-2 3/8"-4" collector stepped headers that fit inside the frame rails of my Daytona clone. I now wish I'd have gone with the recommendation of a 4 1/2" collector. Engine ran better with a 4" to 5" adaptor on the collector. I tried 4" extensions at 54" long in hopes of getting the exhaust out from under yhe car for speed runs and it killed 35 hp. Will try 5" extensions and see if that works.

Dyno info.

Thanks again for the input, I appreciate it. Got the flanges, collectors, and other tubing bits and pieces from http://www.spdexhaust.com/ They have custom flanges that fit these Brodix B1 MC heads very well.

It wouldn't surprise me one bit if the car ran faster with longer collector extension instead of a lot shorter one scope
All the 4 speed cars I drag raced ran quicker and faster with longer collectors, which wasn't suppose to work up shruggy work
Take a set along and test them if and when you can up twocents

2 1/4" x 9"
2 3/8"× 17"
4" collector 13.4" long. In retrospect I should've went with a 4 1/2" colle tor.

Also, after engine shop spec d a 1250 Dominator, I spoke with BRE and sent them my 1150 Dominator for modification. Bob Book thinks that will work better. With the new 1250 QF, peak tq was 690 @ 6800-6900, peak hp was 947 @ 7400-7500, which Bob and others think should be further apart.
