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 |

Waste of time IMO Rich. I'm pretty sure the gas flow will not be as efficient in a square tube. Besides it will be harder, not easier to fabricate. Smooth bends will be a nightmare to produce, especially if they don't follow a single axis of the tube.
