Title: Header "rise" question ...
Post by: Rob Killick on March 27, 2008, 06:03:13 PM

Hi ,

I was wondering what the term "header rise" means ?
Is it the curved sweep of the pipe ?
How do I measure the proper "rise" to suit my aircraft ?

Thanks  y1

HI Rob

The header rise, or drop, on fuse top rear ex headers are measured from center line of the pipe (or tube) at the point it bolts onto the engine to the center of the pipe (or tube) where it ends
