Oh my...
I dont even know how to respond to that...

Re: (30psiCiv)
Well if it's not rocket science then why isn't everyone making there own headers
That 30" of tubing is your first enginnering mistake on 9k+ RPm engine
Tubing Size, Tubing Length, Collector Outlet ,Collector Design, Megaphone Sizing, Header configuration (4-1, 4-2-1), tube pack routing, equal length. Those are the key elements that go into making a good header.
It doesn't matter where the ehader exits still needs to be properly done.
Like you said it's not rocket science just a tad bit of engineering goes a long way

edit: everyone who builds a header should be nominated for a pulitzer.
I think I may try to build my own. Just got my new tig and I am gonna copy a good design. SO who has the best design?

pm DTRfab , he made some custome side exit headers for my 87crx.I have not had time to dyno due to axle problems but the quality of work on the headers is great.

Sorry the piece to create some backpressure. Muffler, baffle, expansion chamber, whatever. I wasnt talking about that big fart can hangingout of the back of your car.

AN-R has a nice side exit header for all motor. what has been said in the past about AN-R headers Cracking. i am proof that they are fine. Ive made 30 + passes at the drag strip and 3 days of city driving it open header and just beatin the hell out of my car and the header is fine. ive had the header for a total of 3 months. and the car is daily driven

That is insufficient to test a headers strength
