A true merge collector. Pretty cool



Overall quality of this header is very very nice. I was duely impressed when i got it in the mail. Although there has been a whole crap load of drama with the split of HeaderTech, And a whole lot of people had to wait (and may still be waiting) on their headers, Its really worth it in the end to get a quality piece like this one. Now it should be known that i havent had time to put it on and size the test pipe, so interms of fitment you guys will have to wait until i put this thing on (mabye saturday or so). But I really want to send a thanks out to Enzo (Enzo-Racing here on HT) actually following through with sending me my header and being flexable with alot of things. While i did wind up waiting for around 7 months when i was told 2 weeks when i ordered it, the end product is worth it in my inital assesment.

P.S. The welds on the primarys and flange were outstanding as well. Very nicely done, if i feel up to it later ill take some MACRO shots

 

looks nice

dyno/butt dyno results?

 

w00t! I had sex with this header last night. That merge collector felt my wrath

Did you even bother to read?

 

Look forward to seeing some dyno #'s.

Sweet header though.

Yeah, it was a while, but in Enzo's defense the company split, and this and that. I was a little (a little...) frustrated over that time, but again in the end it was worth it so far.

That is mean.

 

Is there going to be clearence issues with that design?

 

Very nice....but damn 7months!!!!

 

looks great, cant wait to see the #s...

 

hhaa, ******** 7 months. thats really horrible. he should pay you interest on the money he had.

 

Looks good but Enzo makes me think of Tenzo.

 

Congrats. Looks fantastic.

Damn I really admire your patience. They would've gotten a month from me at max, and I'd be very unhappy.

 

is that thing ac compatible?

Who cares

I actually believe it is. It would seem like it.

b-u-t-ful!! how much?

 

didn't you already buy a header from hiim before?

Or Ferrari ..

 

Nice header just a word from the wise

Merge collector's dont make power unelss they are sized properly with the complete header configuration

really? please explain

 

Critical elements of header design

header configuration: 4:1, 4:2:1 etc.

Initial primary size

Primary Diameter

Primary length

Secondary diameter and length if applicable

Steps - How many, length, when and when not to step

Collector - Collector angle, collector inlet, collector outlet,
Collector options - megaphone, megpahone reverse cone, transition

A complete header design works together, when you have all of these elements properly configured you get a great header.

A great header will have gains throughout the complete powerband and may also have the engine realizing higher peak horsepowers then before.

We have also seen instances where a good header will lose horsepower due to an over scavenging effect. once the engine has been retuned great gains will be realized.

a header like any other performance componet requires fine tuning to realize the maximum power potential.

any other questions i would be more then happy to answer hope this helps.

gorgeous!

I dunno if it was worth 7 months, but that thing is purrrty.
