Header Types Defined/Discussed + Photos of all C63 Headers and Manifolds
Header Types and Definitions:
Full-length Long-tube, 4-into-1 (MHP)
Full-length Long-tube, 4-into-1 (Marranos)
Full-length Long-tube, 4-into-1 (GT PRO)
Full-length Long-tube, Tri-Y (evosport)
Full-length Tri-Y (MBH)
Mid-length Headers Photos:
Mid-length Tri-Y (Gintani)
Mid-length 4-into-1 (Cargraphic)
Mid-length 4-into-1 (Supersprint)
Mid-length Tri-Y (Fluid MotorUnion)
Short-length Headers Photos:
Short-length 4-into-1 (SphereMotors)
Short-length 4-into-1 (VRP)
Short-length 4-into-1 (Thunder Exhaust)
Short-length Tri-Y (MKB)
Short-length Tri-Y, really more of a 2-into-1 merging with the 2 other primaries (RENNtech)
Exhaust Manifolds Photos:
Log-style Manifolds (PLM)
Log-style Manifolds (Eurotech)
Log-style Manifolds (Kleemann)
Log-style Manifolds (OEM)
I'll continue to update as new styles/brands come to market. If anyone has better images (800-pixels wide) please point me to them and I'll update the styles shown above.
- Full-length - Final collector is located after the last bend. The flange (or row of flanges) will be parallel with the final collector.
- Long-tubes - A specific style of full-length header where all four primary tubes are long and extend past the final bend before entering into a collector. (If any collector is located before the final bend it is not a long-tube.)
- Mid-length - Final collector is located before the last bend but after the top portion of the down-pipe and/or primary cat.
- Short-length - Final collector is located at the top portion of the down-pipe and/or primary cat. (These are commonly called shorties.)
- Manifolds - Similar to shorties but they do not have individual primary tubes. (These are often called log-style.)
- 4-into-1 - A header style where four primary tubes on each side enter into one merge collector.
- Tri-Y - A header style where two pairs of primary tubes on each side enter into their own Y-collector or merge. The two secondary tubes coming from the first Y-collectors enter into a final Y-collector or merge. Two 2-into-1s flowing into another 2-into-1 on each side. (Also called a 4-into-2-into-1.)
