I would imagine that it has to be measured down the centre of the pipe.

From the edge of the piston round the centreline of the header to the seam on the pipe :-))

Do you mean one of the ones that is essentially just a tube bolted at 90 degrees to the engine? I'd recommend against using o e unless you absolutely have to

thanks for that.the trouble is  i am trying to fit out a areomarine challenger 48" pro. i didnt want to have tuned pipe out of the back of the boat.so the only way is to put a space saver header on.so then it seems to be impossible to get the pipe at the right length.so i am a bit stuck.any ideas.cheers

Do you mean one of the Swan neck ones that goes forwards before it goes back? Again they're not great and are difficult to get a good pipe length with, but on a stock zen that won't matter too much anyway

The Swan neck should fit fine, it's been done before
The boat pictured below was converted by someone to electric. Can't say I understand why anyone would want to but still  %)
