badgerkdd Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 Can anyone advise me on whether I can use Srad headers on a WN head/ engine? Got rusty holes in my downpipes, I've sorted them for the moment but I'm looking to replace. So far its hard to find any secondhand WN/WR pipes but there's quite a few srad 97/98 on 'that' site. I know the silencer fitting is different but I can deal with that, I just want to know will there be any performance issues, or manifold spacing issues? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 SRAD is a completely different engine (camchain on side for example) so I doubt the header spacing will be anything close to WR. Quote Link to comment
Captain Chaos Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 having said that, people even put GSXR1000 headers on oilcooled engines so it might fit with some violence. 1 Quote Link to comment

badgerkdd Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 just wondered more about if it mess about with the running of the engine etc, otherwise maybe I could look at newer 750 headers, oh and get my welder out Quote Link to comment
snoorder Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) A good set of headers for the 750W is hard te find. The original ones are steel so rusting. Aftermarket stainless steel is almost impossible to find. Years ago I managed to buy a new set from Nikko Racing (expensive) which is now sold to a guy in Belgium. You could have a look on Eblag at a seller called blackwidowexhausts. Think this guy makes stainless stel headers to the original specifications at a reasonable price.

almostthere Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I bought a couple of sets off German Eblag, always seems to be a few on there and they're cheap! Quote Link to comment
badgerkdd Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Thankfully I managed to find a set on eblag last night for 90 quid, reasonable condition for age so I'm getting them next week Quote Link to comment
