Guys,
I'm in the process of rebuilding my engine. Well, rebuild and tune. L24 stroker, medium street cam, triples etc. Now I've been looking and looking at exhaust manifolds, but can't decide what to go for.
When I look at the cheaper type headers, they all seem to bend down quickly right after exiting the exhaust port, if you know what I mean. Now, I know next to nothing about designing headers, but from my point of view, the cheaper headers are designed so that the exhaust gases will hit a 90 degree bend right after exiting the port. Surely, this can't be good for power?
Imho, I think the header should have a smoother bend before the collector, to make the exhaust gases flow better to the collector.
Please educate me on this!
