Detroit Foxbody Crew Brings the Heat to the 2025 Autorama
The Detroit Autorama—America’s Greatest Hot Rod Show—once again delivered the goods, and this year, the Detroit Foxbody Car Club rolled in strong. If you were there, you know. If you weren’t, well, you missed one hell of a display from a crew that knows how to build, drive, and talk Fox Bodies like nobody else.

The Cars That Defined HPX 2026
HPX 2026 in Charlotte established its identity on the show floor rather than through announcements or spectacle. At the center of that approach was the inaugural HPX Shop Car Challenge, presented by Killer Performance, which brought together five curated shop builds representing some of the most current and capable work in the performance aftermarket. Positioned as a focused, invite-only feature within the High Performance Expo, the display highlighted craftsmanship, execution, and shop identity through the cars themselves rather than presentation alone.

Why We’re Fired Up About Stainless Headers Mfg. Inc.
Performance is all about precision, and Stainless Headers Mfg. Inc. brings that to the table with their Oval Exhaust Components. Whether you’re hitting the track, crawling trails, or dialing in your street machine, these parts are the solution you didn’t know you needed.
Built to Perform
Here’s the deal: their oval exhaust tubing is a game-changer for tight-clearance builds. It’s all about keeping flow and performance dialed in while sidestepping ground clearance headaches. Let’s hit the highlights:
- 304 Stainless Steel: This isn’t just any steel—it’s American-made 304 stainless. That means strength, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting performance, no matter how hard you push it.
- Mandrel Bends: Smooth, unrestricted flow is the name of the game. These precision bends keep your exhaust flowing free, giving you more power and efficiency where it counts.
- Custom Fit for Anything: Whether you’re wrenching on a race car, an off-road warrior, or a show-stopping cruiser, these components fit like a glove. From bends and mufflers to flanges and more, your options are wide open.
Why Oval Tubing Rocks
Oval exhaust tubing? Absolutely. It delivers the same cross-sectional flow as round tubing but with a lower profile. Translation: more clearance and zero compromise on performance. Add in the high-quality build and seamless design from Stainless Headers Mfg. Inc., and you’ve got an exhaust system that’s tough, efficient, and built to last.
