1971 Dodge Demon Hemi install

Just to prove your point I weighed one hedman husler 1 7/8 tube B/RB header I have , thick tube walls and flange , on my bathroom scale , me holding it it was about 14lbs .

Then I weighed the right side repop hemi exh manifold I have , 21 lbs with me holding it , alone it was about 20.8

I'm not seeing 4 to 1 .... and I imagine a TTi hemi header weighs more than the hedman husler ...

are you adding the weight of the additional exhaust from the manifold to the end of the header in your calculation?
