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.)
