Thread: Ram Horns vs Shorty Headers

Tweet

Gastrick, Thanks for the great pictures of the Speedway ramshorns relative to the steering. It does look like they are tucked back more than the stock ramshorns which come straight down.

A call to Speedway revealed that the Speedway Rams horns are 1/2" less wide than the shorty headers at the dimension "A" in their chart and 1" shorter than the tube headers in the "B" dimension. I may have to get the Rams Horns because I have less than 1/16" clearance between the outer tube of the middle cylinders and the edge of the fiberglass fender. While I could carve out a "relief" in the fiberglass fender with a Dremel tool, my experience cutting the 'glass body for a curved path offers a chance for a gosh-awful gaping cut which I would like to avoid. Hopefully I will be able to sell my tube headers (ceramic coated) and recoup some of my loss but it looks like I need the added clearance of the Speedway Rams Horns to prevent charring the 'class along the edge of the fender. I tried to get a picture but the camera is not cooperating so all I can say is that the tube header is actually touching the inner edge of the fender so it looks like I need that 1/2" of cleanance which will also give more clearance for the steering D-bar and of course stainless is forever.
