Factory Five Side Pipes Plate Needed
 
Bought a new set of Factory Five side pipes.

I also bought a new set of stainless 460 shorty hugger headers, and would like to build my own J pipes to hook the headers up to the side pipes. I've seen the factory five J pipes with the special cut plate and a hole in the center, but
they won't work with the shorty headers.

Does anyone make just the plate, or will I have to buy some plate and cut
one out. If I do that, what thickness should I get ?

Thanks,

Jim

I bought some plate and used a hole saw and drill press. Very easy to do.
I think 5/16 plate is better. You will have to grind or file the plates flat after you weld in the tubes.

Dwight,

How did you cut out the 4 pipe block off pattern ?

Thanks,

Jim

Not sure I understand your question.

Do you a picture of the pipes?

Have you contacted FFR? I'd be shocked if they haven't dealt with this previously.

Talk to Breeze , they make shims for the ffr sidepipes.
Where are you located Jim?

I am in Waco, Texas 100 miles south of Dallas.

I'll contact Breeze and FFR.

My pipes have a "cloverleaf" (4 pipes) pattern.

Thanks,

Jim

I take it you're looking for a plate that matches up with this gasket:

Brian,

That's what I'm looking for, except it only has one hole in the center.

I may have to cut it out with my plasma cutter, found some 5/16 stainless at my supplier.

Thanks,

Jim
