FIT, APPEARANCE, PERFORMANCE... YOU CAN COUNT ON IT!
Everyone wants to have a strong finish when it comes to their headers. Patriot Exhaust preferred finish, Metallic Ceramic Thermal Barrier Coating (MCTBC) protects and extends the life of headers by creating a thermal barrier which significantly lowers under the hood temperatures and protects the substrate metal from thermal fatigue. After MCTBC is applied, it is polished with a vibratory finishing process that produces a high luster aluminum appearance. The polishing process compresses and activates the coating creating a surface which is harder and 60% more corrosion resistant than an unpolished surface. The coating is easy to maintain and will last for years under normal operating conditions.
Patriot builds headers for both Universal Applications (like Street Rods) and Specific Vehicle Fitments. The style of header is influenced by application and intended vehicle use.
Patriot Headers offer several types of headers designs as described below.
PATRIOT LS CAST TUBULAR MANIFOLD
Patriot Cast Manifolds for GM LS Engines offer a wide variety of fitment applications maximizing engine bay clearance for engine swaps. Performance gains are realized with oversized ports and collector outlets compared to original GM factory manifolds. The Patriot LS Cast Manifold also incorporates a sealing dome and with a pair of 304 stainless steel reducers to help route your exhaust system with more adjustment options than the competition and elminating expensive OE gaskets.
