My car ran in the 9's with mild steel headers that didnt trap nearly the amount of heat these will.
I think that was a good question.
Onmy car I will be adding a chin spiler of some type to both help retain heat and to stabilize the car at higher speeds. alot of air can get under a car at 145 MPH.LOL
