304 Stainless Steal Exhaust Headers

Are you considering ceramic-coated headers or painted headers? Is one better than the other?

In this Summit Racing Quick Flicks video, Mike will help you choose the right type of headers for your exhaust system—focusing on shortys and long-tube headers. Learn why full-length, long tube headers generally will give you the best exhaust velocity and scavenging, and overall performance. However, all sized headers offer specific characteristics that can help you achieve the fitment and performance you’re looking for.

The finish on your headers will determine how they look and how long they last. It will also affect the way they perform. There are several options available. Understanding the benefits and weaknesses of each one will help you make the right decision.

An exhaust leak will affect the flow of gases through the system. This will reduce The Scavenging Effect created by the headers. A quality gasket will keep the exhaust system sealed.
