Why is the overpipe required?

Can you post a pic of the primary merges?

I'm assuming these are stainless steel, what grade of steel are they?
Calum- More pics coming soon, we've busy making the welding jigs and getting production up and running.

Material is #304 brushed alloy. Info on website. We can also polish but found that the polished doesn't deal as well with heat at the brushed

Correct, we should really call it the 4-into-2-into-1. OP is the wrong term

Shhhhhh

Love these headers, wish they were out (or I knew about them) before I got my first production run nameless header......
Thank you for even mentioning us in the same sentence

Not worried. Visually a regular BMW and Alpina look similar. Consider these headers blue-printed.


Some photos of the production jigs getting ready. Some welds will be done with the robot, but over 70% is still hand welded. Last photo is some test samples for the 4-1 header we were playing with.
