Default Equal length headers from blownsix

Just noticed in the latest PANO that they have some nice looking headers pictured.

Nothing on the website though.

Will scan if anyone is interested.

To be honest I have not been impressed by their stuff so far. The I/C quality was no great and I sold it. He also made claims of work done like polished insides and when it arrived the core flash and roughness was sub par quality. I will save judgment on headers but if the quality is the same I would stay with B&B which is not great but a known quantity.

I hear ya. Just thought it was of interest.

Probably would not go there myself.

I have GHLs that need install but debating on jet coating first. Also the flanges are not stainless so I am wondering what to do to keep them from rusting or it is something of which to be concerned.

GHL doesn't use SS flanges???? That is pointless. The early SSI Heater boxes for 911 and 914 did that and the flanges would always rot away rendering the entire unit useless. I would sell them and go with the B&B if that is the case.

Well the car will never see rain. Think jet hot coating the flanges would provide some benefit?

I too was disappointed about the flanges not being SS. There is meant to be a technical reason.

rain is only part of the problem, heat is a bigger issue. Even SS will rust because of heat. I would guess the coating would help for the water part but heat will attack from all sides.
