We often try our best to get the most performance possible from our engines. In the search for more power, we often remove exhaust manifolds and swap them out for a set of headers. Available in ...

One area of engine science that shows positive returns is the exhaust system, particularly from the cylinder head to the muffler. It's been proven over and over again that headers add big power, so ...

Now that we have a better understanding of why headers work, the question now becomes do they work in the presence of boost? To find out, we decided to run a series of tests by comparing headers ...
