CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - Stainless Steel Headers... worth it or no?

I agree with gmonde, building headers off of photos and dimensions without having the actual chassis is pretty much a guarantee for disaster. Interestingly, even on Stockers, the engines mysteriously seem to be reloceted from stock location so nothing can be assumed. I can't tell you how many times I have been asked to do what is explained to me as a simple rework on the bench that I end up doing three times before it fits correctly. Building headers is a pain in the *** under the best of conditions, doing it without the car is asking for trouble.
