So can a straight 6, but you're missing the point.

If you really wanna be picky, it's just an exhaust manifold.

Nope I understand the point.

But everyone understands what you are trying to say when you say "headers for the XXXXX".

If we're splitting hairs....

So can a flat 6, if you consider Carreras as an example. So could a flat 4, I suppose. Ours doesn't though.

Jst bcuz' u Can understnd this DOESNT make it right.

Why not take it a step beyond comprehensible and use correct terminology?

Header vs. headers, tint vs. tints...

All semantics and not really worth wasting time arguing about. Next week somebody is going to post a new topic asking what headers are the best...

Dampers vs Dampeners. Happens in the suspension thread. Hell, even some vendors said "dampening" in sale threads.

Unless I missed internet sarcasm.

"So damper and dampener can both refer to one that deadens sound vibrations."
obviously they use sound vibrations as what is beinged dampened, but it seems clear to me that is saying damper and dampener can have the same meaning at times.
