So I was out practicing for my trip to the nats today and to my dismay my 
header broke right after the exhaust port.  I'm running in my Black Magic an OS 
1.60, a Mueller header, and an ES composite pipe.   
My question has two parts.  First of all is ther anyone going to the nats 
that has a spare header that will work that they are willing to part with?   
And second any ideas to prevent this from happening?  I have the 1.60 mounted 
in a Hyde soft mount with nose ring, there is about a two inch adapter 
between the header and the pipe.  And the pipe is mounted with a single dave brown 
mount about 2/3 of the way down the pipe.  Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

You need to run two mounts, one at the front of the pipe, and one near the 
back.  My headers last indefinitely when mounted like that.   
 
However, I recommend always carrying a spare header.  They can break, usually 
at the most inopportune moment.  The vibration and heat stress will 
eventually get most headers.
 
I MIGHT have something with me that will work.  I will be at the Best Western 
tomorrow sometime late, and at the Nats site on Tues.  Will be flying 
Advanced.
