What kind of headers are used in performance cars?
The Magnaflow Ceramic Coated Performance Header is an example of a short tube design. The Rugged Ridge Exhaust Header with black ceramic coating. For starters, there’s Borla’s Stainless Steel Header for new and old American performance cars as well as inline-cylinder Jeeps and imports.
