I bought an old 2-into-1 header advertised for a CB360 but it doesn't seem to be right. The downtubes fit in the ports but the ends look like they're at the wrong angles. I suspect it might be for a CB350. Anyone know if the exhaust port angles are different between the two bikes?
I kept poking around since posting this and found an answer (of sorts). A builder of a very nice bike wrote:
"...the exhaust 2-1 reverse cone was found on ebay, it was from a CB350 but a little heat and now it fits..."
Considering the super low price I paid ($84) it might worth a little heat-n-twist session. Anyone know if a little hand-held propane torch (the kind used to solder copper pipe) will be hot enough?
Interceptor -- I'm interested in the Mac but suspect the price might be higher than my meager budget can afford.

Ha Ha..That was me! I put a factory car jack between the two pipe cranked some tension,
Yup! Used a propane torch, took about an hour heat then check and repeat.
Worked out well! Good luck.

Thats correct! I placed the header facing down towards the floor, placed the jack between the two pipes right at the very opening where the head would meet the header. Rotated the jack to push the pipes outwards hoping that they would twist a bit to match the head. I concentrated the heat at the first bend moving from one side to another trying to keep the heat equal between the both sides. When you start to notice the jack getting loose, you know it is working, just take your time.
Hope this helps.

You're right and it's my fault. I blame it on being groggy this morning after drinking too much cheap beer last night.
The vital information part seems to be over so maybe a kind-hearted moderator could move it to the right spot or wait a couple of days at it'll drop off this page.
