Specifically the one that runs along the inner pass wing to the header and branches off to the heater I am guessing. Think I want to replace mine before it gets worse.. Is it not part of ACT's stainless pipes? Can't seem to see it on the usual suspect sites..

I can recommend ACT ones, mine are still bright and shiny after abuse from the usual battery acid dripping down and heat from the manifolds etc

Does anyone have a picture of these on the car? I have a tiny coolant leak somewhere but I am not sure where it is from. I have tightened up all of the jubilee clips I can see in the engine back which may have solved it (I can only tell when I start it up once it has been left for some time), the wrapped manifold on the passenger side will steam off the spillage but I can't see where it is coming from!

Thanks!

I bought a set of these today and will be fitting them in the next few days so can take some pics for you.

They were literally the only thing that wasn't either refurbished or replaced during the rebuild a few years ago, and they look terrible, all blistered and bubbling with rust!

Good opportunity to add some protection to the any cables in the area whilst you've got the pipes out



I brought the pipe to make some myself, but just couldn't get the bends as tight as the ACT ones using my mandrels

Whats the copper pipe running over the top of the heater pipes for?? Washer fluid? Don't recall seeing that on mine and if I had one, I've no idea what I've done with it!
