  Included are:

  • Flanges: 1 American made precision laser cut 3/8” thick header flange to fit the VW/Audi 1.8L
  • Port Size: 1.630" Round Port
  • Mandrel Bends: We supply (16) 180 degree J bends. Our J bends come with a 6” & a 12” leg. For most header builds, this extra leg length mean you won’t need to buy any straight tubing. 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.
  • 4 into 1 Collectors: From there we supply a precision formed 4 into 1 collector or one of our optional super high flow slip on merge collectors with 2 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:
  • Formed weld on collector (Collector star included)
  • Slip on merge collector with a straight exit (Collector tabs included)
  • Slip on merge collector with a transitional exit(Collector tabs included)
  • Collector star: A simple part that really helps speed up the fab process. Used as a weld in block off between the 4 tubes before welding the collector on, these are precision laser cut for a perfect fit between your specific primary tubes.
  • Purge Caps: This simple, but effective method for back purging caps works great. Each kit includes 4 primary caps and one collector cap.
  • O2 bungs: Each header builder kit includes 1 weld on O2 bung. Precision machined in the U.S. from 304 stainless billet, these bungs weld beautifully, not like a cast bung
  • Tig Filler Rod: Includes ¼ lbs. package of filler rod
