I found a cheap 3" fatback that I'll hopefully be picking up sometime next week. However, I'm still looking for some headers and a Y-pipe to complete the exhaust. Im looking for something with 1-5/8" or 1-3/4" primaries, 3" collector, and no AIR tubes. I've only got a 305 now but if everything works out, I'll have a 350 in the car. I figured the 1-3/4" primaries would just allow more room to grow... such as a 383 down the road.
I found a set of SLP 1-3/4" headers and 3" Y-pipe for $300 but was wondering if anyone had anything cheaper. |

SLP has used both 304 and 409 SS - the 304 will stay shiny over time, turns blue where it gets really hot. 409 is similar to what the OEM's use, starts out light brown and ages to dark brown. 308L filler for 304, I have some 409CB that I use on the 409 and OEM stuff.
There are other fillers for mixing different SS grades with mild steel - I've had pretty good luck with Google search strings like 'weld xxx to mild' or just go to the filler metal mfrs or welding forums and they'll have charts. |

There's a brand new set of SLP 1-3/4" stainless headers at Blaine Fab waiting for my '91 Formula! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |
