Stainless steel header engineered to improve exhaust flow on the RX-8 rotary engine. Built from mandrel-bent tubing with full stainless construction to resist heat and corrosion. Direct bolt-on design replaces the stock manifold without cutting or welding.
Will this bolt directly to my stock exhaust system?
The header bolts to factory mounting points on the engine. Your existing downpipe or cat-back system will need to be checked for fitment at the header outlet — some buyers adapt the connection point depending on their exhaust setup.
Do I need to prep or paint this before installation?
Stainless steel doesn't require primer or paint. Out of the box, it's ready to bolt on. The natural finish will develop a patina under heat, which is normal and does not affect function.
What gaskets or hardware come with this?
Header assembly only — gaskets and fasteners are not included. Use OEM gaskets at the header flange and confirm your existing bolts are in good condition before install.
