For those familiar with Patriot Performance know that they make high quality products. They’re now expanding their product base into the aftermarket header foray, like these Traditional-style Lakester Headers.
Official Release:
Patriot Traditional Lakester Headers
Patriot Exhaust Products announces the release of their New Traditional Lakester Headers. Designed for the Hot Rod owner who wants the look of the Lakester Style Header, but without the down tubes for conventional exhaust hookup, or rings on the end of the cones for that Outlaw Open Header Sound. The Traditional Lakesters feature Patriot’s unique primary tubes that sweep into the cones for a more aesthetically pleasing look and better flow. Made from 16 gauge tubing the primary tubes are 1 5/8”, 1 ¾” or 1 7/8” depending on the application. The cones have a subtle taper with a 3 ½” opening.>
Patriot says that they are available now for Buick Nailheads, Small Block Chevrolets, Flathead and Small Block 260-351W Fords, and Chrysler 331-392 HEMI’s. They are offered in High Heat Black Coating or Silver Metallic Ceramic and come with High Temp Gaskets and Special Header Bolts.
For those that want to take away a little of the open header bark, Patriot also offers optional slip in Baffles as well as Short Turn outs to keep the exhaust away from the doors.
