Welcome to The Fab Shop - Your #1 Shop for FAST Exhaust Headers

Why are Fab Shop Headers so much better ?

1. Look where the header starts. At the head. We custom build our laser-cut flanges so that we can "tip-up" (left picture) the tube so it better follows the curve of the exhaust port.

Others simply take the easy way by welding the tube ninety degrees to the flange (right picture).

2. After allowing the gases to smoothly exit the head, we keep it moving quickly with the best possible seams. We "butt" weld race-weight 18 gauge tubes together (top tube) using a smooth, light, strong, TIG weld. Others swell and sleeve their heavy 14 gauge tubes together then apply a heavy bead of MIG weld.

3. Bend radius. Whenever possible we use a large, sweeping 6" radius tube to fabricate our headers (outside tube). Again, the so-called competition takes the easy way by utilizing much tighter bends (inside tube), forcing the exhaust gases to be restricted. Just like a car going around a turn; the bigger the turn, the faster you can go. In an attempt to compensate, they recommend huge tube diameters. This helps the volume of air but actually further decreases the velocity.

Because we have combined the three beneficial designs you see above, we can use a smaller tube which contributes to a fourth benefit. Air Velocity. The gases passing through a Fab Shop header are so unencumbered by restrictive designs that they exit the collector at higher speeds. You will not see carbon build-up in the intake of an engine running Fab Shop headers. You will however, see that car in the winner’s circle!

What makes The Fab Shop Exhaust Headers better? We simply do not compromise for mass production. Our headers make 15 Average Horsepower more and weigh 22 pounds less than the popular competitor’s slip joint headers. We use more expansive bends with the largest radius in the industry and we never use slip joints. We take the time to tig weld all butt joints on every Exhaust Header we build. This helps to reduce weight and maximize airflow. This also makes for perhaps
that best looking Header in the business.
