Dynatech headers are quite heavy as they are made from 16 gauge, 1/16" wall tubing. I also do not like how they join tubes with the expanded/slip fits, then welded...prefer butt welded joints.

We've repaired numerous dynotech dragster headers. All that weight hanging off the flanges causes them to crack & break...even with their so-called flange braces.
