Hot Stuff
When I got a call from Craig Lieberman, marketing director of MagnaFlow Performance Exhaust, to tell me about the company’s new Ti line, I was totally stoked. Not because it had anything to do with titanium, but because I was going to get a firsthand look at what the new stuff looked like and how it performs on the dyno. Although we didn’t expect anything in particular in terms of power, the weight savings alone was worth the install.


ENGINE BAY ART FORM
The goal of many builders in today’s high-class, high-dollar world of rodding is to develop new trends to help keep the hobby fresh with new ideas. For some time, the focus has been on the bigger picture—the external appearance of a vehicle. Now builders are focusing a lot more on the details and areas such as the engine compartment, as they become a canvas on which to display the latest and slickest art form.

If you live for pulling trucks, racing, or high-performance applications, this build kit has everything you need to bring your vision to life. It’s designed to fit the standard bore space of big block Chevy heads, making it versatile enough for a variety of builds.
Unparalleled Precision and Quality
What sets this header build kit apart from the rest? It’s all about the details:
- Flanges: The kit includes two American-made, precision laser-cut 3/8″ thick header flanges specifically designed for Big Block Chevy heads. You can also opt for eight single port flanges for easier fabrication and installation.
- Full Bank Port Size Options: Choose from 2″, 2 1/8″, 2 1/4″, 2 3/8″, or 2 1/2″. Single port flange options are available in 2 1/4″, 2 3/8″, or 2 1/2″.
- Mandrel Bends: You get twelve 180-degree J bends with 6″ and 12″ legs. These extra-long legs mean you won’t need to buy additional straight tubing. The bends are crafted from American-made 304 stainless steel, which forms better, welds better, and lasts longer.
- 4 into 1 Collectors: The kit offers precision-formed 4 into 1 collectors or optional super high-flow slip-on merge collectors with four sets of collector tabs. Like the bends, these collectors are made from top-quality American-made 304 stainless steel.
- Collector Stars: These laser-cut stars simplify the fabrication process, acting as a weld-in block between the tubes before attaching the collector.
- Purge Caps: Back purging is a breeze with these caps. Each kit includes four primary caps and one collector cap.
- O2 Bungs: Two precision-machined, weld-on O2 bungs are included. Made from 304 stainless billet, they weld beautifully.
- Tig Filler Rod: The kit includes a half-pound package of filler rod, ensuring you have everything you need for a perfect weld.
