S & S makes one, but reports are that the quality of assembly on them is spotty. Some report that they cannot get the d*mn thing on, and others say the pipes rust quickly. My 2.1 seemed to run better with it, but I don't know about the longevity issue. It went out of service before winters exposures! And that raises another question. Since the Wbxr is basically a Type I, at least for external dimensions, has anyone tried looking for an aftermarket header in that world? The Wbxr engine mount/hanger bar would be the big sticking point there, I think... Evan |
