[Spits] Spitfire Header

[The Family Jefferson]

Especially down south, with all that humidity and heat.

I agree.  I sprung for a Bell stainless steel 4-2-1 header from Rimmer
Brothers that I sent on to get ceramic coated, inside and out.  I've been
very pleased, especially here in Savannah, Ga.

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.
