It looks like the header is too wide to clear the shock tower, that pipe is a left exhuast, the fuel nipple is designed for the pipe to exit left and nipple up. On the Savage it exits right, which puts the nipple down. You can point the stinger down, but then the fuel nipple is pointed into the frame. Depending upon what header you get, there may not be enough room. My first experience with the Ofna pipe was the chassis plate cutting the fuel line off of the nipple. It ran super, for a little bit. Depending upon your body, the buggy headers put the pipe too far outside. Bud

You could do this but like BB said you will have the pressure nipple will be at the bottom and would probably fill up with unburnt fuel and oil, either clogging it up or sending it in your tank and mixing with your fuel.

I scored my 053 pipe from ebay for under 20 shipped. You could buy two more expensive pipes for 40 each, and that's $100

No, it's not a buku pipe. Unfortunately, because of the laws of fluid dynamics (which I don't quite understand but I say it 'cuz it makes me sound smart) prevent one pipe from working very well with all nitro 2 stroke engines like buku owners say they do.

I wouldn't waste my money on a buku pipe...the people that know things don't run them...when you see the pros start running them, then I'll eat my hat on video and put it on youtube. Seriously, I will.

BTW, you do realize that that header won't fit your truck unless you go to a 4 shock setup, right? IE CEN genesis or LST shocks
