IMPORTANT ENGINE , CLUTCH, AND EXHAUST INFORMATION BELOW ARE RECOMMENDED CLUTCH AND EXHAUST SYSTEMS TO USE DEPENDING ON THE ENGINE YOU HAVE CHOSEN. WE ARE SURE THAT THERE ARE MORE , BUT THESE SHOULD BE EASILY OBTAINABLE. THE BEST WAY IS TO GO WITH A SHORT SHAFT SETUP. THIS STYLE CLUTCH IS THE SHORTEST, LEAVING THE MOST ROOM FOR CONNECTING YOUR HEADER TO A REAR EXHAUST ENGINE.
