So you can evenly distribute exhaust pulses in a V8

Ever seen the GT40s and wonder why the headers are like that. Well I did(yes I am a ton of fun), you get some 180 degree headers and you get more evenly spaced out pulses like this. I found this out a few days ago, but have been too lazy to type anything. In any case, you lose that classic American V8 rumble, but I think the new sound that comes with these type of headers is a lot better!

You can hear it in the Camaro at the 15 second mark and the Mustangs that fly by!

I heard some Corvettes a few years back with similar headers(I assume) and they were really sexy. As it turns out though, not the best for high revving engines. Stuff like 7 to 8k+. Why? Cause the primary tubbing is like 3 feet long. So now you know. That's all I knew on the subject. If I left out info please do share, I would like to know!!Although it is just piping so, I am not sure there is that much information left to talk about. . . or maybe there is. I DON'T KNOW!

I did forget to mention something, the design is two of the tubes go into the collector for the opposite bank of cylinders. Although, you could figure it out from the first picture.

My god that is beautiful.

Its a shame theyre no good for high rpms. My SHO should in theory go all the way to 10 grand.

It is pretty epic in person, although you don't get quite the same view.

I mean you could probably use it, you would probably have better gains in the mid range rather than up top.

Essentially, the design is is to enable better scavenging of the cylinder that is on a reversion note or going to be. 2-3 cylinder engines do it with a cone place at the end of the primary exhaust tube that forces the reversing exhaust pulse to exit the system before it can restrict the flow. On multiple (6+ cylinders) it can be done by how the tubes are arranged to achieve the effect. Good point YSI.

Well... im exagerating a bit, there are races here, but nothing really worth watching. im too far from road america, im at Road Mexico. The local track is useless, still, its where Esteban Gutierrez Sauber F1 driver raced as a kid.
