Subject:Re: headers are headed south (TIICO)

Bill: the '87 Syncro I now have was converted to TIICO 18 months ago by Ed
Rogers of VEE DUB Service in Ogden, UT at 801-392-0212. He used a steel mesh
section between the header pipe and exhaust pipe to allow for flex in the
system. I'm guessing your muffler/exhaust section is rigidly attached to the
header (welded) and what the engine clamps to and what the muffler/pipe
clamp to are different parts of the engine bay and so ask to be
cracked/broken. If the muffler/tail pipe were somehow attached to a bracket
on the engine, evrything would "move" together and not create flex. Call Ed,
he has done 4 or 5 of these since this one so has some good experience. Nice
man, helpful if a little dry.
