"zoomie"headers
does anyone know of where I can find a set of bbc zoomie headers like you see on funny cars?I'm building a 33 ford and would like to put a set on it.I saw a guy one time at a show that had a set on a small block and had put a motorcycle mufflers in each one.I don't want the short ones like you see on drag boats they need to extend all the way down.thanks,
Bryan

Now here's one of those examples of where terminology really does matter. Do you really mean "zoomies" or are you thinking "weed burners"? Most drag boats I've seen use what ARE zoomies. Here's a link to a builder; http://performanceweldingheaders.com/zoomieprices.htm
These would be an example of "weed burners", though not the only possible shape.Your Uncle Bob, Senior Geezer Curmudgeon
It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

Hey four27rat, I know the pic below is mucho extremo when it comes to exhaust... but isn this kinda what you are looking for? I am actually considering something like this setup for my Linc, only because I haven't seen anyone else do such an outlandish thing and I am a freakin' loon. Tell me what you think...Please look below for more about my car...

zooOOMIES...
Yes they do have baffles inside the end of each header tube... These were custom made by a guy that kennyd uses for most of his custom exhaust work... You might e-mail kennyd for more info, he is a regular poster here on CHR...
Hope this helps...

Sure wouldn't be tough to build a set... Some mandrel bent tubes, some straight tubes, a pair of flanges. Tig weld them all together and send them off to the chrome shop or ceramic coating shop.... Best part of building your own, can make them fit the car correctly.....
But the question begs to be answered..... Why a set of weed burners???? Even with baffles they're nothing but obnoxious and would be a guaranteed cop magnet......Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!

We managed to get a couple of other small things taken care of. One was blacking out the front of the core support. When the sun hit the front of the car just right that green paint on the core...
