Headers have no place to mount a turbo. You need a turbo manifold.

Seeing how as the Cobra has an IRS unit known to snap half-shafts under drag launches, and Ford intended the rear-end more for track than drag conditions, how exactly is the Cobra "built" for drag racing?

Yah, i'm with most of you guys i'm rasing the BS flag on this one.

18lbs, only 11.8, was your grandma driving ?

New "rear end", What exactly is the gearing on your "rear end". Or was it custom like your Headers ?

Headers, plural, as in 2 or more ? WTF !

What exactly makes this " bronze clutch" Different from a a 6 or 4 puck clutch or a Dual friction clutch ?

You know if your going to come here and waste our time with a load of bs, you could atleast make it sound a little bit better.

Ok, some people call a tube turbo manifold a turbo header.... you've all heard of those right?

How about a turbo manifold with 28" long runners on a drag car? Similar to a header to me..... a turbo header.

You guys have nothing better to do then to pick away at someones post. But if you're gonna do that then think about what you say....

TriturboGen3 Rx-7:
Lots of people say headers instead of the proper "header" way.

Is there not Kaaz rear ends for our cars? or 4.3 GTUs rear ends?

Ok, some people are retarded, too.... what's your point?

As a helpful hint for the future, I suggest you do a bit of research before attempting a contadicting post.

From dictionary.com:
header: (applicable def'n)
A pipe that serves as a central connection for two or more smaller pipes.

manifold: (applicable def'n)
A pipe or chamber having multiple apertures for making connections.

Now, a header serves as a connection between two pipes, whereas a manifold is hollow chamber or pipe with a surface for making connections.

A "turbo header" is not possible, since a turbo is not a pipe. However, an N/A header can be considered both a header and a manifold.

While vernacular slang may be accepted in the automotive backyard, true definition explains it as a fallacy.

I just picked away at your post too... see, it is my job here to bring reality to the forum, and pick apart the fallacies.... just ask Jimmy.

*cough* SCHOOLED *cough*

Scathcart:

To call bs because someone uses slang is retarded too.

Since were getting into definitions:

manifold (Applicable definition): a fitting on an internal combustion engine that directs a fuel and air mixture to or receives the exhaust gases from several cylinders

Very similar to definitions of a header.

The given definition of header doesnt make much sense to your argument.....

A pipe that serves as a central connection for two or more smaller pipes.
another definition:

Header (applicable definition): a conduit (as an exhaust pipe for a many-cylindered engine) into which a number of smaller conduits open

So this would mean on a straight pipe (slang, in case you dont understand) exhaust the header is actually the pipe that connects the 2 or more primary runners.... as in the exhaust pipe?

Also, an exhaust system with primaries collecting to a muffler would not have a header according to the dictionary definition because... well, a muffler isn't a pipe now is it?


Howerever all this is pointless....

my point is that we all know what is meant by a turbo header, even if it isn't the correct term for it so why call bs on it?
