header collector ring size?

[DaveD]

I am having problems finding a header collector ring with the same bolt spacing as the headers on my car. No one specifies the bolt spacing in their ads. I called Summit Racing because they list several different rings by different manufacturers. They told me that all the ones they sell have a bolt spacing of 3-1/2" for the 2.5" pipes. My header has a 2.5" exit and the bolts are 3-1/16" on center from each other. I am looking for weldable rings to match it so I can play with making a different silencer/muffler. Can anyone help point me to a source for rings this size?

 

My original silencer needed repacked and I had to cut it to get to the inside. I ended up making a couple baffle packs for it and the one I have in it now works reasonably well. But cutting and rewelding it has made the steel very brittle and it keeps cracking. I have my eyes on parts to build a new one if I can find the collector ring to match my header collector ring.

 

Thanks,

Dave

Try this link, if they don't stock it they will make it.

I ordered all my parts for my header through them and they are great.

Thanks, I'll give them a try.
