<P><FONT face=Arial>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 <STRONG>Mueller </STRONG>header, and an ES composite pipe. </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>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? </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Arial>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.</FONT></P>

<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV></DIV>
