Good idea. Thanks.

The header is from AH Spares--originally from Cape Sports--anyone have 
any experience with it?

      Try Ah Spares for the down pipe, which is mostly to accommodate
      engine rocking without the exhaust system cracking. You can also
      bring the car to a good muffler shop that does custom fabricating
      and have them weld in a section of woven stainless flex pipe like
      the kind used on todays cars for the same reason. Had that on two
      Healeys so far and itâ??s muc more robust than the standard flex
      pipe. <br>
