Default custom headers... don't flame me

if you have the tools and the skills
why not make your own set of headers instead of
buy headers?

because its cheaper to buy them from sombody else... plus it takes a lot of research to design the best header that suites your needs, for low end torque or high end power you can do different things. all in all its just to difficult

because you drive a 4 cylinder car. If you make a set of header(s)you will have an extra. Therefore doing twice as much work as required. You would then try and sell your extra custom header in the classifieds and be flamed to no end. Oh wait isn't that what we are doing right now. You definitely watch way too much Monster Garage. Jesse James doesn't have to worry about cats and 02 sensors or actually fitting his headers to normal exhausts when he builds his. I hope this helped.

Haha I absolutely love this guy's posts! He asks completely hypothetical & academic questions, but he phrases them in poetic style which makes you think that he's saying some deep stuff!

Let me give it a whirl...

if i had a wife and we both wanted to have kids
and we both could have kids then why
would we not
go
ahead and have kids?

Sweet...

why dont you?

you have the tools and materials right?

just copy someone's design and make sure you dont patent it or sell it and use it to your own discretion.

but it all comes down to quality, and material cost. (if you have al lthe proper tools)


which ever weights out more...
