id say its real, in the middle its still got a huge chunk and thats also where its usually stamped hytech.

not saying the replicas didn't do the same thing.( i haven't messed with hytechs at all)
but just from googling it seems that is real. take pics of that hunk of metal between the runners it should have the company stamp there.

I hope you're wrong about this,,, I purchased TWO big tube 2.0L headers from John at hytech and he said they were the new ones. They do not have anti reversion chambers, pay'd 900 plus for each one!! Have the order form in the file!

my hytech has machined flange just like the pics. it doesn't seem yours is. also the flange is phuckin tight to the studs when you put it on. He does this so that the header lines up with the exhaust ports perfectly. Also, I've never seen him put the O2 flange on only a paired section of the header, always in the collector. I'd say that is not real.

whats funny is they have reversion chambers in the first place....this was used on old tanks for low rpm motors more then half a century ago....has no place on high rpm high flow motors.
also the new hytech headers dont have the anti reversion chambers...but this is for boosted applications with a supercharger.

that header you posted is not a anti-reversion header, nor a hytech header. It is a shitty attempt at a 2 step and it is paired wrong for a 4-1 anyways. let alone short *** primaries.

Mine has stepped primaries not anti-reversion chambers. Either way I have an order form from hytech with his sig. Plus the car hauls ***.
