How come no one has tried square tubed headers for a type 4?
I am thinking like the Nascar headers? I am opening up a topic to discuss the benefits of round tubing versus square tubing for headers. Also, is there an optimum size for tubing for a 2.0 liter headers??? What happens if you were to build a header with say 2.5 inch ID for a 2.0 liter??? Does is flow better? Does is effect the scavanging?? Is bigger better??? Rich |

I am kinda hoping someone with a physics backround chimes in to explain.
I might do it, tig welded flat stock and send them to Jake to see if its viable. It would be a whole hell of alot easier to add effective heater boxes to a setup like that, and I would hope to be able to hug the motor/tranny alot closer than what is currently available for less money. I am thinking that once done, I could share the patterns FOR FREE to everyone so as not to keep the Secret to myself and allow all of us home mechanics (read cheap) that can weld, to build a set that would be usable with alot of the cheap free flow mufflers out there...
