A merged header is where an air-cooled engine finds its lost power. This EMPI sideflow merged system (00-3263-0) scavenges spent gas through equal-length primaries into a collector, then quiets it through an included muffler — more midrange, a better note, and a clean tuck under the engine.
Features
- Merged equal-length header design for improved scavenging
- Includes muffler for street-legal sound levels
- Sideflow routing tucks neatly under the engine
- Noticeable midrange torque gains over stock
- Complete bolt-on system with hardware
