The single BEST thing all these moron header manufacturers could (if they had a brain the size of a pea) would be STOP building one piece headers.
It's 2020 and they STILL want to build those junk headers in one piece. And that includes the much lauded Dougs and TTI's. I've actually been on the phone more than once with TTI and BEGGED them to stop doing it. They just don't get it.
Each header should be 4 pieces. For example, the number 1 and 7 tubes should be singles, 3-5 should be a single set of pipes and then the collector should slip on. Same for the passenger side.
If they did that, they wouldn't make the IGNORANT compromises they do just to build an idiotic one piece header. It's just stupid.
For a long time I've been cutting the collectors off of headers and using slip on collectors. Then splitting the flanges.
Again, you won't convince the header manufacturers that's the correct way to do it. They are THAT stupid.
That would alleviate many ills using headers. Number one being not being bound to compromises built into one piece headers.
