Ceramic coated headers require several heat cycles to fully cure before they will withstand extreme heat. Flowtech recommends using cast iron exhaust manifolds or old headers to break in new engines to avoid coating damage. Please call Flowtech tech services at 270-781-9741 for additional information regarding ceramic exhaust products. The use of header wraps can cause the header tubes to crack or rust due to excessive heat and moisture build-up. Flowtech does not recommend the use of header wraps as this will void the warranty.Details:Air Injection Tubes: NoBolt size: 3/8-16 x 3/4Bolts Included: YesCARB (California) Compliant: NoCatalytic Converter Quantity: 0Collector Attachment: 3-Bolt FlangeCollector Diameter: 2.50 InchCollector Port Diameter: 2.50 InchCollector Reducer Included: YesCollector Reducer Outlet Diameter: 2.25 InchColor: BlackCylinder Head Flange Thickness: 5/16Design: Block HuggerDrive: 2WD, 4WDEGT (Exhaust Gas Temperature) Port: NoEGT Port: NoEmission Code: 4Engine: Ford Small BlockFinish: PaintedFlange Thickness: 0.3125 Inch, 5/16Gasket Or Seal Included: YesGrade Type: PerformanceHeader Finish: Black PaintHeader Series: Block HuggerHeader Style: Block HuggerMaterial: Mild SteelMounting Hardware Included: YesOxygen Sensor Port: NoPort Shape: OvalPrimary Tubing Diameter: 1-5/8, 1.625 InchProduct Type: HeadersQuantity: Sold as a PairSheen Level: SatinTube Material: Mild SteelTube Wall Thickness: 16 Gauge
