Performance Headers

Headers are an important aspect of any high performance exhaust system. In the constant battle against increased under-the-hood temperatures, especially in turbocharged autos, a high quality header can significantly improve your situation. High performance headers increase power potential and flow dynamics, adding life to any turbocharger system.

What to Expect From a High Performance Header

While searching for a header to fit your engine, there are a few simple points to keep in mind. Look for a header that will easily bolt to your engine without requiring moving or altering your factory installed emission equipment. This will help you keep your emissions within legal parameters and keep your auto on the road. Look for headers bearing the C.A.R.B. 50 state emission legal standard to ensure legal installation.

Other high quality aspects to look for in a header are ease of installation, warranty, and inclusion of premium installation accessories. Laser cut flanges are quickly becoming a quality standard, and investing in a higher quality will add years of life to your engine and dollars to your wallet in the long run. A higher quality product will improve breathing ability and flow dynamics, which will cut down on temperature issues.

Header finishes come in a variety of compositions to meet your tastes and needs. Nickel-chrome mild steel provides a beautiful look for light duty street autos. 409 stainless steel headers will discolor slightly, but will provide added durability for higher performance autos. For a heavy-duty vehicle, investing in a high durability titanium ceramic coating will add years of performance to your vehicle. Whatever your needs, choosing the correct header for your engine will ensure years of quality performance and an enhanced driving experience.
