Getting more air into your engine and more exhaust out is the key to a performance
motor. That's where exhaust headers come in. Exhaust performance headers do away
with the performance-robbing exhaust manifold that came with your car. Headers
provide each cylinder with its own mini exhaust pipe, which means exhaust headers
prevent the backpressure that occurs in a common exhaust manifold. When
cylinders don't have to fight each other to expel their exhaust, they can put more
power through the wheels, and a bigger grin on your face. Exhaust headers come
in all shapes and sizes for hundreds of applications, from leading manufacturers
such as Edelbrock Headers, Hedman headers, JBA headers, and Pacesetter headers.
Honda headers, Toyota headers, Mazda headers, and VW headers are all now
available to put the punch in your sport compact.
Of course, Hedman
hedders, JBA headers, and Pacesetter headers are produced in a variety of configurations
for Camaro and Firebird, and musclecar headers are available for many
older applications as well. Combined with a high performance cold air intake
and high-flow air filter, adding performance exhaust headers is one of the first
performance modifications you should make. You have to cover the basics when
you're building up your motor, and performance headers should be at the top of
your list. |
