Anyone using LPE headers with AFR 210s
The 210's only come in std angle plug (not the L98 angle). Niether LPE nor AFR know if the LPE headers will work, but i remember someone telling me they wouldn't.....so if anyone is, i'd like to know.

God their tech guys are real sharp......LOL!!!
They didn;t advertise the L98 angle in their cut sheet for the 210's so i called and their tech told me they only made std angle plugs.
But, now if i look up your part #...bamm.....210s with L98 angle!!!!
You'd think they'd know their own product line.
Thanks Paul...clears that up.

You ordering some of those Ralph?
Bare or assembled?
I only wish AFR would make the design change of the outer edge/trough/lip to be more deeper and the oil return holes at a lower location.

I considering the 210s, but i dont want to have to change my entire exhaust system to do it.
Paul, do you know if the exhaust port would work with a 1 5/8 tude header or are they too big? If i have to buy new 1 3/4 headers, it starts a chain reaction that pretty much wipes out my exhaust.

Re: Anyone using LPE headers with AFR 210s (ralph)
It's close but I think so:
Not all the ports are exactly the same. Some a hair or two smaller, some bigger.
And I use this wonderful copper gasket from SCE part # 4211 that is just a a hair or two slightly smaller. You could port match if very careful.
*Note tho how I had to sandwich in a regular gasket I port matched to seal up a nagging leak (using hooker 2149's)
I searched most of the gaskets for this port and the 4211 was the closest dimensions I could find.
AFR gonna take their sweet time on those to you. Don't get their assembled. Get your own trusted components and have a good head guy check seats and assemble for you. Teflon seals are nice.

Wow, ask a question and get a picture of the answer...thanks paul.
Do you still have them off? Could you get a picture or the dimension from top to bootom of the port and diagonal if possible? I'm thinking the 1 5/8 headers would be a little small...Hmmmm
