Help With Thunderboat Build Zipp Kits SLR Missile Header Selection

[Bob Zola]

I am going to use a Gizzmo pipe on this boat. I know I need a 90 degree drop header. Anybody know if I need a 2 inch or 3 inch drop for this particular model.

Dont need the drop but you can use it . can use a normal 90

Thanks for the reply Butch. If I use the drop would that help keep the pipe parallel to the bottom of the boat? Was thinking maybe the 2" drop.

Sometimes with a drop down header you can't shorten the pipe enough to find the sweet spot. Just a thought. I use a straight 90 in my TB Zipp, works fine.

I had the drop that zip sells then i switched to the reg 90 . both worked well .

OK, I think I'll just order the regular 90. Thanks!

I ended up using the Zipp 90 deg drop with a Zip pipe that came with another boat I bought.
