Racing Beat - Road Race Header -Stainless Steel 86-88 RX-7

Product information "Racing Beat - Road Race Header -Stainless Steel 86-88 RX-7"

Making their return to the Racing Beat line-up are these beautifully crafted stainless steel rotary engine exhaust headers. The Racing Beat Road Race Header is constructed using mandrel-bent 2" OD 304-grade stainless steel tubing, then polished to a mirror-like shine for a dazzling appearance. The unique Racing Beat designed engine-to-header and the header outlet flanges are cast from 304-stainless steel and surface machined and polished to ensure optimum exhaust gas sealing. These flanges are unique to Racing Beat's headers and have been designed to offer superior mounting and sealing qualities.

This header is intended for use on all 1986-82 RX-7 13B non-turbo (6-port intake) applications and can be used as the starting component in a custom race exhaust, or mated to the inlet of the Racing Beat Road Race Presilencer section. This header includes a back-pressure pickup tube to allow the correct operation of the 6-port intake actuators equipped on the 1986-88 RX-7 6-port engine. If your engine doesn't not require the use of the 6-port actuators (they've been removed or disabled), then you can use the 1989-92 Racing Beat Road Race Header (w/o the pickup tube) as an alternative.

This header is not compatible with the convertible chassis equipped with the automatic transmission - the header outlet will make contact with the transmission case. The header may also make contact with the extra bracing on manual equipped convertible chassis's if mounts are worn.

This header weighs approximately 10 lbs as compared with our 15 lb steel version.

Included hardware:
Outlet flange gasket and mounting hardware.
Air Control and Check Valve Cover Plate - for use with stock intake system
Silicone Hose - for correct operation of 6-port intake actuator valves.
Oxygen Sensor fitting mounted to header.

An engine-to-header gasket is available separately if needed

Racing Beat Note: If you have located this part from the parts listing on the drop-down menu, we suggest you review the information on the introduction page for the RX-7 Road Race Exhaust System. This page provides details on the components for your exact application and serves as a useful "starting point" when building your exhaust system. For an overview of the Road Race Exhaust System, click here. Replacement Rubber Exhaust HangersWe recommend the replacement of the original RX-7 rubber exhaust hangers during the installation of any new exhaust component. It is our experience that over time the original rubber hangers can deteriorate, crack, and fail; which can result in the incorrect alignment of the exhaust system. We offer replacement exhaust hangers for all models of 1986-92 RX-7's. Review the Exhaust Hanger Chart for details on the exact components that are required for your exhaust system.
