Twisted Steel Header

The new Twisted Steel performance header from aFe Power is redefining the header industry with new pulse control technology. aFe engineers have designed this header using optimum tube lengths and mitered collectors for maximum flow and velocity for power delivery across the entire power band. Combine with a large 1/2" thick head flange and 14-gauge 409 stainless steel tubing, you have a header that is strong and powerful. Twisted Steel headers are 100-percent bolt-on with no modifications necessary and are proudly engineered and built in Corona, CA.

Product Overview

aFe Power’s new Twisted Steel header delivers more horsepower and torque while outflowing the factory exhaust manifold. The header is constructed of 14-gauge 409 SS tubing with a 1/2” thick head flange to ensure a leak free seal. To eliminate dead space that can cause turbulence and hindering flow that formed collectors are prone to produce, a true merged collector and optimized tube lengths are used for true pulse control technology improving flow and performance. 100% hand TIG-welded construction ensures optimal strength and durability. The smooth curves and increased diameter of this header helps remove restriction and keeps exhaust gas flowing smoothly for improved performance and durability on and off the trails. All components are supplied for a hassle-free installation with no modifications necessary.

Note for Australian and European Markets

Unless otherwise stated, this product may be engineered for use in Left-Hand Drive vehicles. Steering components, pedals, shifters, linkages, wing mirrors, instrument clusters, panhard rods/traction bars, drag links, brake boosters, brake or clutch lines, accelerator cables, heater cores, some master cylinders and adjacent parts can vary between LHD and RHD configurations. In some models compenents such as windscreen wiper arms, motors and linkages could differ in their size and orientation. Items such as floor mats & dash mats may have differences in their structure around the front row (or padding in different locations). In many cases items are identical depending on the design of the vehicle and part, but may have differing mounts, lengths or bolt patterns. Carefully review the product images and details to ensure suitability for your vehicle, or contact StreetFX support if you are unsure. Returns are not accepted for special order products.

Images are supplied by the manufacturer and may be generic. While all efforts are made to provide accurate pictures, there may be differences in the actual product, such as colour, quantity, version, or included components.

aFe Twisted Steel headers are constructed of 409 stainless steel tubing with thick, CNC-machined flanges to ensure a leak-free seal. They incorporate a merge collector design, reducing the turbulence that occurs when using the traditional form collector-style designs. The performance gains are obvious when coupled with a high-flow Y-pipe. The aFe headers feature a tuned length primary that is out-flowing the stock manifolds by as much as 46 percent.
