With my car stepping up in the power stakes i now felt my single 2.5″ exhaust system was getting restricive - so i did a little more homework and after finding some back to back dyno tests carried out by Rage exhausts i decided a single 3″ Rage system was to be the weapon of choice.
Some say a single system acts as a better scavenger of spent gasses from the engine over a smaller diameter twin system.
My car already had a big bore exhaust fitted when i purchased it but it still sounded like a glorified V6 and now that i had a performance intake fitted i wanted to complete the breathing of my engine by fitting some Pacemaker Headers. Pacemaker headers have long been considered one of the best ‘off the shelf’ headers money can buy so i didnt really consider any other brand when i was ready to buy.
I paid the extra money and had the headers HPC’d (ceramic coated) - this not only looks great, it keeps corrosion at bay and most importantly it keeps temperatures down under the bonnet by holding more of the exhaust gas heat inside the pipework.
