What makes our header build kits the choice of top fabricators?
- Header Flanges – Included are 2 American made precision laser cut 3/8” thick header flanges
- Port Size: 2.100" Low Rise, 2.145" High Rise
- Collector Flanges- Included are 2 American made precision laser cut 3/8” thick collector flanges
- Flange Stubs – Included with our Cobra Kit Car header kit are (8) formed stubs to help speed up your fabrication process. These flange stubs are formed to the exact flange shape.
- Mandrel Bends -
- (4) 170 degree Cobra Specialty U-bends. Our Cobra Specialty U-bends come with 16” straight legs.
- (4) 75 Degree bends with two 4" straight legs
- (2) 75 Degree bends with a 12" straight leg and a 5" straight leg
- (2) 75 Degree bends with two 6" straight legs.
- What makes our stainless mandrel bends truly a unique product? We start off with an American made 304 stainless raw material, that is then bent in the U.S. for a genuine 304 .065 stainless bend. Our material forms better, welds better and last because it is a genuine 304 stainless.
- (Optional) Double Merge Collector- This double merge collector allows for improved exhaust scavenging and performance at the base of the headers, as well as easy installation of an O2 Sensor bung. This set up still allows for that classic Cobra Kit Car side pipe look with the 4-way collector flange still in place.
- (Optional) Custom Side Pipe Assemblies- Call For Details.
- (Optional, for Side Pipes only) 4 Into 1 Collectors - From there we supply a precision formed 4 into 1 collector or a set of our optional super high flow slip on merge collectors with 4 sets of collector tabs. Just like our stainless bends, we start off with an American made 304 stainless and fabricate the industries finest collectors.
We offer these header kits with 3 different collector options
