Hi guys,
My 250 came with a set of Clifford long tube split headers. I've noticed that the area where the tube comes through the mounting flange is not very wide in spots, from 1/8" to 1/4" wide and in fact, the mounting flange is blackened where there was an obvious exhaust leak in the past.
I'm thinking that the best way to resolve this is to grind the tubes back flush with the mounting flange, TIG them to the flange, and file flat. I think this will give me the best sealing surface. Alternatively, I could TIG some weldment to widen the area and leave the configuration as it is, with the tubes sticking through the mounting flange and being flattened out about 1/4" wide and about 1/16" thick on the inside of the flange.
Thoughts?
