Do you have a body off photo that we can see so we know what to keep an eye out for?

At least what engine is/was it? Pro 15, 2.5, 3.3?

Is the fantom 18 that you have a rear exhaust engine?

yes it is a rear exhaust. the 4-tec 2.5 header would work but its to small to fit. i dremeled it out but its only good for a temp fix.

Ok. It appears that the 4tec uses the same header as the jato. This is what I have on my jato:

I had to bend it a bit for the exhaust pipe to line up properly with it. I also had to grind the outside of the bottom of the flange so it would go on the exhaust port and clear the pull start.

This one looks like it would give more clearance without bending it:

So with a little bending, it should work really good. You will probably still have to grind the bottom of the flange on the outside a bit so it doesn't hit the starter cover.

These may work even better: http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXFBA0&P=7, http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=DYN6599
