Default Header pictures and borescopes

Here's pictures and borescope from $480 Agency Power headers:

Nice and smooth where it bolts to the cats:


Also nice and smooth at the cylinder head flange:





Borscope shows nice smooth welds, the bore scope travels all the way through with no issues:

I think this can be removed with a die grinder.


Nice and smooth at the flange where the cats bolt up, but same pipe edge lip can be felt here about 2 inches inside. More die grinder work is needed.

While the eBay headers are a good deal for just $100, they will require a little bit of work to clean up the exhaust flow.
