<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've actually seen one of the Central headers with
the hatori pipe come apart at the joint where the pipe meets the fitting that
mounts to the head. I think it's a great idea for saving weight, it just depends
on how much you're willing to sacrifice in longevity to save that
weight.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>Your mileage may vary - depends on how you connect the header
to the pipe. My O ring on my ProLine didn't seem to last long at all -
the O ring on my Astral seems to last at least 50 flights or so.<BR><BR>

style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.). </SPAN><BR><SPAN
