The collector allows for more smooth and consistent flow compared to a welded variant which can have the flow interruption or structural failure that we see with other headers. The Header flanges are CNC-cut and faced from a 1/2in thick piece of 304 stainless steel.
This design is much thicker than OEM and allows us to ensure perfect flange flatness. The result is greater gasket sealing and ultimately increased performance and reliability.
The exhaust runners are also made from thick 1.75 14Ga stainless steel tubing for increased longevity and are welded both on the inside and outside of the flanges. This is an extra step in manufacturing that provides a rounded lip to improve flow from the flange through the runner.
