Brand new stainless header

What do you think this is worth, I am having a custom stainless one made so I am thinking of selling this one. It is brand new!!!

This is a .065 wall, only weighs 7lbs vs. RB 14lbs. Also, this one wont rust out!! What do you think.

Oh yah, it is for a 13b

was that thing mandrel bent??... doesn't look like it... the starting pipes bend to quick without giving the exhaust its maximum exit velocity...
but as far as stainless steel goes... looks great...

ISC RACING in flordia makes that header. i got one on my 12a j-bridge. noticeably made more power than racing beat road race header that rusted thru and cracked on the rear pipe right by exhaust port flange

you think $300 is too much for a header..... try adding another $300 for JetHot2000 coating it. BOYEEEE. I considered it a long term investment!!!!!!!!!!!!

I decided to have a custom header made. For the most hp on a peripheral port, you have to have 24" from the flange(where the header bolts to the motor) to the "crotch" of the collecter. Plus, my new header will come through the fire wall, into the passagner side compartment, and out the rocker panel in front of the rear tire. The reason for this is that the car will be so low, you cant get 3" over the axle and I dont want it under the axle.

This is close to what I am doing

They are well worth the money in weight and power. I am not going to sell it for $300....not sure yet though on the price.

I got my dual 2 1/4" pipe to single 3" pipe Flowmaster collector right on top of the rear axel with just enough clearance.....

running a short exhaust like that will put the muffler in the passenger compartment!!!! Good shielding...take pics so we can all check it out!

paying for that much on a header as a long term investment will do some good if you stay N/A... but how about later down the road you get a sudden WANT of more HP... and you decide to go turbo on the same motor... then you'll have to change the headers...
