How thick headers flanges to use, if you making your own headers.
I welcome any advice.

Thanks Walt
 
I used 3/8" but 1/2" would be better. Be sure to use studs instead of bolts!
 
1/4" flanges will work.

3/8" flanges are better.

1/2" is Best..

the The Material the flanges are made of is more important.

Mild Steel...ok.

T304....better.

T321....best.



I recommend the TiG process for welding TURBO HEADERS, but you can stick pipe together with a coat hanger and a torch if you want....but I dont recommend it.
 
mine are 3/8 t321 stainless as are the tubes. ive never had a leak, i dont use gaskets, ive got about 4000 miles on my kit.
