Header problem

[captaincabinets]

Hi all

So I've bought a hurricane header for my NB to complete my RS3 system. It arrived today and I've opened it up to find the piping is way smaller than the RS3 system. I think 1.5 inch outlet vs 2.5 for the RS3. #$^*& &$% $(*%$$%#$

I understand this is my fault for not checking the details. Not sure what I should do though. I was excited that I found a header that fits my $(&% auto I didn't stop to think about the pipe diameter.

Should I just get the installer to weld them together and be done with it? Try to get a refund or sell it and then get a custom 2.5 instead?

I don't plan to go FI in the near future so it doesn't *have* to be the large diameter piping. It just seems like a waste to have the header bottlenecking the rest of the system.

Advice much appreciated

Could the exhaust shop cut the collector of the headers at 2.5" and keep it that size right thru?

Its 2", which is the right size for your entire exhaust system.

Just get him to weld it on if you are going to run a tailpipe way to big regardless.

I thought Hurricane had 2" outlet ...

oops...Dann just beat me to it

[captaincabinets]

Really? .5 of an inch? Looks like significant difference. If the rest of the system is too big, guess it's not an issue.

Will take a photo or measure up maybe.

Anyway, thanks all

Just had a quick look at Hurricane web site and both 1.6 & 1.8 headers are 51mm outlet.

Id be willing to bet that they lack the skills required to build a proper 2-2.5" merge for it.
