[Spits] Spitfire Header

[Chris King]

I second the one from Ted. I bought one for my 1500 Midget, and it works
well and fit well. The one I got was routed specifically for the Midget,
and had a Maniflow tag on it when I got it. Quality parts, though the
one I bought was mild steel.
 
I agree, I probably should have sprung for the ceramic coating. It keeps
the header looking better longer (mine's got some surface rust on it),
and on hot days after a run on the interstate, I'll sometimes have
problems with the fuel boiling in the float bowls. I understand the
ceramic coating will radiate less heat.

James, 

I bought a header from Ted for my 75 Spitfire 1500 when I converted to
dual 
SU's. The other stainless steel headers Considering Rimmer Bros. was
about 
$300 (plus shipping) and Spitbits was $400 (plus all that other stuff) I
went with Ted. 

When I installed them, I was told I should have gotten the ceramic
coated 
version, but those are a bit more.

Help. I'm looking for a high preformance exhaust header (free flow) for
my 
1300cc Spitfire project. My mechanic says stay away from
Pacesetter/Monza 
parts. I bought a great Strebo header but fitting is a problem. He says
I 
need a good 4 into 2 into to 1 or "Tri Y" type. I have found one from
Ted 
and one from APT, both are $275. I'm not against paying for these I just
was interested to find out if this is what I should get and if I can 
possibly get one for at a better price.
