Headers

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 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 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 cold air intake and high-flow air filter, adding 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 headers should be at the top of your list.

Apexi headers

The key to making a great high-performance exhaust header is getting the exhaust pulses far enough from each other that they don't interfere with one another. A good header design, like that found on Apexi headers, actually helps scavenge the cylinders, sucking out the exhaust. When you have an Apexi header on your exhaust system, air pressure from preceding pulses helps to pull burned gasses out on the next pulses. It's a neat trick managed by the best headers, like those from Apexi headers. Apexi headers perform this power boosting exhaust work by taking the exhaust from each cylinder into its own downpipe. Then the Apexi header pipe joins with a second cylinder pipe, making a "one into two" junction. Finally, Apexi headers join all the cylinder exhaust pulses into a common collector, far enough from the cylinders to prevent excess backpressure. Combine the engineering found in Apexi headers with the construction, which is mandrel-bent stainless steel in all Apexi headers, and you've got a sure-fire winner. And, when you combine the great performance of Apexi headers with our everyday discount prices and fast shipping, you've got another great combo.
