I am about to fab up a set of headers. Thought I'd see if anyone has left over 2.25" material.

Assuming that you mean 2.25" primaries? For what? A Rolls-Royce Merlin?

Most are between 1 5/8" to 1 3/4"...

I'll leave this here so that you can take it for a little spin: http://www.carcraft.com/techarticles/header_basics/viewall.html

Not "grassroots" I guess.

LOL...that is what I mean. "Cubic dollars" is usually needed to get that kind of NA power. Sounds impressive...at least figuratively for now, and I am sure literally too, when done.

I used a 'box' to make a set of 32" long primaries and still have enough for most of another set.

I think I have a 2.25" U-Bend in my garage somewhere, but really don't want to ship just one item. Any chance you'll be in southwest Ohio soon?
