So I've go this Puma 200 build that I'm working on and we're putting a new Predator 212 in it. I picked up a Header pipe & Muffler from Go Power Sports for it and it's supposed to exit out the rear under the seat... Well my frame isn't playing along with that plan and I'm going to have to "tweak" the header pipe a bit here and there to get it to work.
My question is can I heat the header up and gently bend it without starting to kink it? I've watched a couple of vids of this old oriental guy custom bending like 2 inch header pipe using more of a rose bud tip and heading the piping up some, but not enough to make it turn orange or anything,.. he was just keeping steady hand/pull pressure on it and seemed to be applying most of the heat on the back side of the bend...
Anyway, anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks!
