They call it a "tri-Y" connection or something like that.

What's wrong with the header in the pic? I thought more airflow is good??

 

it'll buff right out

Perfect time to cut the O2 bung out and weld a whistle tip in it's place

It is.

Works great for sealing sunroof plugs too.

You should have been around here a couple of years ago. There were Spoon header photos all over the place. I have always thought it was an interesting design, but as it turns out, there was still room for improvement in terms of power.

 

Maybe it's just me, but the investment in a lower tie bar or traction bar would seem likely to stop a lot of these header dents, no?

Maybe I'm paranoid because mine was nearly $900.

 

I threw on an MSM lower front tiebar...next morning I nailed a leftover steel bumper from an accident on the DC Beltway.

MSM bar = 1
Beltway trash = 0



Nevermind the huge dent in the bar It wouldn't have helped the front of the header being scraped (the common problem I see), but it did shield it further back.

 

I am going to check mine tomorrow!

 

Take care of my old header ...i didn't even look at the crack by the O2 sensor.
