Most primaries see right at 330* F, give or take. Is 330-350 really going to kill the material?
I'm never concerned with the headers, but the other parts near the exhaust, and the tunnel.
My car has JBA LT's which aren't of the highest grade of stainless and after running them they've gone from an aluminum looking stainless to a dark, matte blue lol still no rusting though so I don't worry. Just from heat I guess

Did a little research into true tri y's a few years ago. When paired with the proper cylinders, each 2 cylinders paired up help scavenge each other, then they get scavenged some more from the final 2 into 1 connector. The general thought was that for the expense, the average street guy could get more power per dollar other ways. True, BUT this design done optimumly will make more power throughout the whole powerband, which is why many road race cars have them.
For me , it's a if I could I would thing. I'm considering trying the low cost speed engineering headers posted here next year, considered ordering 6 each 2 into 1 connectors for them, which would cost more than they will.

But damn the price of admission...

I'm realizing that. Amazing to me how there's a STARK price difference in motor mounts alone... For the same damn piece of polyurethane that's doing the same job.
Albeit, the only reason I could possibly see is "volume of sale". Not many are probably sold in comparison, but CMON MAN!! 300 for a set of poly engine and Trans mounts?

As soon as they show up, I'll be posting pics. They're probably still in manufacturing. I haven't received a shipping confirmation yet.
Yeah... I sold the Camaro and picked up a 39k mile Corvette, M6, Blackwing and Corsa as only mods. Thank god, bc I REALLY didn't want to shell out the cash for that exhaust!

Well, holidays have came and gone, and it's getting high time to start modding again.
The headers and X finally showed up. Took about a month, but given the sale I kinda figured... But HOLY WOW the quality! They look GREAT!!
Will be posting pics later today.

My biggest question, is this platform like the FBody where motor mounts are a MUST when doing headers?
Photo's..........?
