The Killer B Motorsport Holy Header was developed using state of the art CAD software & simulations to determine optimal design to increase power in the mid to high RPM range. Short as possible primaries with a single secondary significantly decrease header volume allowing exhaust gas pressure to build quickly. Symmetrical 4-1 design maintains high and consistent exhaust velocity as RPMs rise. You can expect faster spool up time compared to long primary/double secondary designs. A difference you will immediately notice in throttle response and the ability to hold more power higher into the revs.

NOTE: Up-Pipe not included***

Features include:

  • Short Equal Length Primaries. The shortest possible length primaries you can have on an Equal Length header. Short means less header volume and quick spool up.
  • Symmetrical Primary Design. All primaries have a similar tube length AND bend geometry. This keeps the pulse velocities high and consistent compared to equal length headers with different (non-symmetrical) primary tubing geometry.
  • Smooth Mandrel Bends. All of the bends utilize a mandrel for smooth non-restrictive flow. Not only that, they use the largest bends possible at every location. It would be cheaper to use 2” bends everywhere, like others do, but that’s not going to give the best performance.
  • Thick Walled 321 Stainless Steel Construction for Long Life. 321 is alloyed with titanium, costs more, a lot more, but it’s the ideal material for high temperature turbocharged applications. Would 304 stainless work, yes, but the temperatures on turbocharged cars can exceed the limits of 304 stainless enough to make them brittle and crack. 321 stainless steel has higher strength and toughness at elevated temperatures. It was developed by the aircraft industry specifically to address 304 stainless manifolds that were cracking. Killer B Motorsport is the only company that manufactures full 321 headers.
  • High Heat Retention. 321 stainless steel conducts less heat than 304 stainless steel. The short primaries and properly sized secondary’s also pull less heat from the exhaust gasses increasing turbine efficiency. Large tubing headers expose the exhaust gasses to more surface area transmitting more heat and reducing exhaust energy. You can also ceramic coat or wrap the headers (and keep the warranty) without exceeding the temperature range like you can with 304 stainless.
  • Weighs only 17 pounds (vs. OEM weighs 25 pounds)
  • Works with OEM EJ25 Oil Pans, and Killer B Motorsport Performance Aluminum Oil Pan!
  • Made in the USA and Killer B quality!
  • Works with any 2-Bolt Up-Pipe

Holy Header!

Header for my 06 STI finally came in and was worth the wait and money. Welds are flawless and having the coating to help with the heat is the icing on the cake. Went on fairly easy once getting old one off. Also, splash guard seams like no issues with being close or burning. Make sure to have new manifold and up pipe gaskets.

Excellent Header

Installed on a 2017 STI. Fitment of this header was very good and it's not touching anything it shouldn't. No prying needed to install, just a little lining-up and I was able to push it onto the heads without a fight. Torque the flanges from the center out per Killer B's instructions and they'll seat good. While you will have that EL sound, these seem to sound a little deeper than other EL headers.

I went from a Tomei EL header to the Killer B header. I was tuned on the Tomei header and, after switching to the Killer B, I noticed a small dip in power before 4K RPMs. I got retuned and the tuner was able to cleanup the power band to make power delivery feel more consistent. Considering the differences between these headers, I don't think it's unreasonable to expect that you will need a retune to take full advantage of them.

About the Tomei EL headers: I wasn't able to get the slip joints loose when I initially installed those headers. I got them installed good enough that they didn't appear to be leaking, but after removing them (~10k miles of use) I could tell that the flanges weren't flat against the heads due to rust on the gaskets that wouldn't have been present if the header flanges were seated flat against the heads.

Tomei VS Killer B: While cost is a big difference, the Killer B header is lighter, easier to install, has a better heat management option (wrap VS Swaintech), and should outlast the Tomei.

HEADERS AND GASKETS

Gaskets got here the one and faction fab ones are good if not great quality. Headers took a bit to get here but it is 110 percent worth it. I recommend

The best ELH I've seen

I've used several headers on these cars and this is by far my favorite. Great design, hgh quality construction and pretty welds.
