[NSRCA-discussion] Hatori 822 or Central Header?

[Don Ramsey]

Here's my experience with the Central Header and the Hatori short muffler
(Hatori 821).  The Central header is lighter than the Hatori.  My header is
braced to the engine with a metal strap and the muffler is mounted on a soft
mount near the stinger.  The "O" in the pipe has formed a deep indention in
the header and now the muffler has a loose fit and leaks oil.  Others may
have a different mounting method as mine seems to be flawed due to the
indention caused by the "O' ring.

Guys,
 
I'm debating which header to get.  I already have 822 headers.  The Central
header is stated as being lighter, and also at larger diameter which should
help the exhaust.  What are some pros/cons with each?  I've had good luck
with the 822, but also had one break (which was easily reweldable due to its
being steel.).  
 
Thanks,
Jim
