Exclamation vid of obx header glowing redhot on dyno

Guys go to the mutimedia thread on this forum and watch this vid--it is unbelieveable and it shows you WHY mazda put a doulble wall header on out cars. Congrats to Silvereight for doing this--he is jam up. Oh by the way thats me talking in it,

no, they used a double wall header strictly for emissions; faster light-off on cold start

my custom manifold, which is only 1/2 the wall thickness of the OBX one, didn't glow red thanks to the HPC Extreme coating

the cat pipe glowed red though
