while those headers look pretty, i don't like the 350ยบ bend.
thats kind of what you have to deal with though to get the most power from full length headers. you actually get less restriction with them and the suction effect that is created when the gasses hit the collectors actually speeds up the flow from the next cylinder which means you have less inert gas in the cylinder when it pulls in the A/F mixture. side effect is that it creates a vacuum in the cylinder before it begins traveling down on the intake stroke so it speeds up the mixture coming in allowing it to take up even more volume
more air and fuel = more power which is directly proportional to the and effects. And isn't that what we're all after?
