[QUOTE="Bad Company, post: 15847414, member: 141815"] LOL....I was wondering if anybody would notice that. The headers are a slightly different design and I didn't want anybody to see them.....(joking) LOL The header is a custom set by American Racing Headers. What is custom about them? They're the standard 2" primary tube with a 4" collector, instead of their standard upgrade of a 3.5" collector. This is the main reason I went with an H-pipe over the X-Pipe I originally wanted. An X-pipe in 4" can't be done under these cars with a full exhaust system. There wasn't enough real estate under the car with the Torque Arm cross member to fit the X-Pipe to be able to connect to the 3" mid-pipes while retaining good ground clearance and not having the exhaust rattle on something under the car to cause spark retard due to the knock sensors picking up the rattle. Yes they're wrapped. They are ceramic coated with a 2500*F coating and then covered with an Inconel heat shield. This was done to reduce underhood temperatures, while also keeping the velocity of the exhaust gasses high until they hit the H-Pipe for a higher scavenging effect of the headers collector.
