Exhaust Header VS Manifold, which is the better choice?

The structural differences between exhaust headers and manifolds are the material and size. From the material, exhaust headers are made of lighter, thinner steel, while exhaust manifolds are made of thick iron. Exhaust headers are also longer than exhaust manifolds. When in use, exhaust manifolds create back pressure, which lowers performance. Because each cylinder of the engine is given its own tube, however, headers eliminate this problem; thus, allowing the gases to exit without the creation of back pressure. Therefore, exhaust headers are a BETTER choice than an exhaust manifold.

Upgrading your exhaust headers is the perfect way to boost performance and enhance sound for your 1994-2002 BMW E36, E46, Z3, and E39. These headers improve exhaust flow and provide more horsepower for better acceleration. Whether you're driving on the road or at the track, the FLASHARK exhaust headers deliver a deeper, more aggressive exhaust note. Easy bolt-on installation—no modifications required!
