Anthony,
 
I swear by the CD header. I have used them for over 4 years without a
single breakage. The Guy who makes them in Australia lives about 70km up
the road and he makes an excellent product.
 
The header in STD form will be too small for 5/8 Teflon coupler. Find
someone who can braze a bit of tube at about 18mm diameter to the end to
step it up. Jerry may have some already modified.
 
I can tell you that in my view this is the only product to use as far as
I am concerned. There is no need for support braces as the header will
never break (try bending one).
 
On my CD header - 5/8 Teflon tube - Hattori setup I only support the
tail pipe and that is it. I believe this setup saves weight in the end
because people don't realise how much weight is used in mounting exhaust
systems.
 
You will need two spanners as mentioned. These systems do not leak. Over
800 flights and still going without a breakage why would anyone use
anything different. I have some better news as well. This header will
get more power out of your motor than any other exhaust header on the
market. I get 100-200 more rpm over the AAP.
 
I take take some photo's of my installation if you are interested.
 
Get one, you will not be disappointed.

Looks great, I am going to order one to at least check it out. That is a
very good price compared to the AAP.

I have used a couple of these for a couple of seasons with Hyde mounts
and no breakage!
 
Tip: The locking nut is 18mm and there is very little room for a
standard wrench between the head & the header nut.
Go to your local bicycle shop and get an 18mm wrench made from stamped
sheet metal. You may think you won't need it, but you will!

Anthony,
 
You might look at this website...
http://home.att.net/~rc-enterprises/rcme_013.htm
I don't know if the dimensions are the same, but they look similar.
