Mandrel Bend?
This type of bending system allows the tube to be bent, without altering its
original shape and size, which in turn enhances flow and appearance. Some header
manufacturers do not have access to this system while others mix and match
mandrel bends with ordinary press bends. At PACEMAKER, every bend is a mandrel
bend.
Pipe Over Cone?
Traditionally, header manufacturers welded protruding secondary and outlet pipes
to manufacture headers. At PACEMAKER, we developed the pipe over cone technology
(copyright number 135712). All PACEMAKER headers are manufactured with the pipes
flared and welded over the collector cone, so nothing protrudes inside the
collector cone, therefore increasing exhaust gas flow and eliminating turbulence
inside the exhaust header. The result is better gas flow and increased
horsepower.
PACEMAKER OTHER
All Pipes Fitted Through the Flange?
There are two ways pipes can be welded to a flange. The correct way which is the
way PACEMAKER headers are manufactured, is to have the pipe set through the
flange, welded around the top to seal the pipe, mould the pipe to the correct
size and shape and then finally, machining off the access. The other way is to
simply butt weld the pipe onto the top of the flange. This may seem to be the
easiest way of welding pipes to a flange but unfortunately, this means the
flange port needs to be cut smaller than the pipe and not necessarily to the
right size and shape to match the cylinder head.

A Quality Finish?
At PACEMAKER, we believe that the product should not only perform well but have
a high quality finish too. Everything from the attention to detail of our
designs to the clean appearance of our welding technique to the use of smoother
mandrel bends and precision laser cut flanges all combine to help make PACEMAKER
headers one of the highest quality headers on the market today. And to set them
off, PACEMAKER headers are finished in a bright and attractive, specially
developed blue heat proof coating that will last well into the header's life.
There is more to the finish than meets the eye.
