Have you installed an aftermarket header yet? If so, would you be willing to sell me your stock header??

Default The reason I asked....

I am looking for a stock exhaust header to use the flange to fabricate a performace header that takes advantage of the modern technology available.

All the production headers I have seen use WAY too short of primary tubes and collector designs from the '70s. They are what I would call a "convience" header, designed to be installed easily and fabricated cheaply to maximize profit for the company.

These little engines need all the help they can get to generate REAL power.

A modern true performace header could not be fabricated for the $350 that commercial headers sell for- the parts alone would cost that much! And that's not even in stainless....

Soooooo..... How does a header that can generate more power than any other on the market for about $550 (uncoated). Not smog leagal, but real HP rarely is!
