Title: Brand New Bub Header Pipes
Post by: Rob Valdez 79 R65 on March 30, 2010, 01:08:18 AM

I always said I would find a way to afford OEM when it came time to replace my header pipes.  Now I kind of wish I had.

The Bubs, instead of a straight pipe for a cross-over, has a pipe with a bend in the middle to go around the front cover.

I find that on the right side, I can barely get the pipes together where the inside pipe completely covers the slits cut into the cross piece for compression.  I think I have it now, but I won't know until I fire it up for the first time.
I guess you get what you pay for...

Do any of you Bub owners have any advice for a newbie?
