Unleash The Power!
At QTP we build only the best header for your car or truck.
When we take on a task of making a header for a new application,
we spend the time needed to make the best possible header out there.
We make sure before it is released of not only the highest quality
construction but also the gains our customers expect.

Taking It To The Next Level
Formula 1 and Nascar technology on the street. Option High Velocity
Merge Collectors and Tri Y headers. Built only with the Highest Quality
Craftsmanship. We do not make the low end budget header. No corners cut
here, ported at the header flange. You wont see left over weld here.
Made Only In Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is non-magnetic, a quality that makes them very important
in the aerospace industry. Compared to mild steel, stainless steel has
superior high temperature characteristics. It is an excellent material
for headers and any application where high heat is encountered.
You may have heard talk about maintaining high exhaust velocity
and increase scavenging by covering headers with a thermal wrap. In addition,
there are companies that coat headers with a thermal barrier, typically
some type of ceramic formula, in order to keep the heat inside the exhaust
system.
Stainless steel performs this function without the need for add-ons because
it has a much lower coefficient of thermal conductivity, thereby keeping
more heat inside and transmitting it to the header outlet. Radiated heat
is perhaps the most important reason to wrap or ceramic coat the headers
to protect the car and the driver from excessive, fatiguing high temperatures.
Typical 1010 carbon (mild) steel conducts 219% more heat per foot than
do the types of stainless steel we use in header fabrication. By contrast,
quite a bit more heat stays inside the stainless header tubes and does
not get passed into the surrounding air. By not allowing the contraction
of the cooling gases as they flow down the tubes, more exhaust velocity
is retained which promotes better scavenging at the collector.
This retention of velocity increases the overall header efficiency. 304
stainless steel has excellent high temperature fatigue resistance in enclosed
application and does a darn good job of living in this hostile environment
better than any other material.
These many characteristics, such as superior heat retention properties,
high temperature fatigue resistance, and to a lesser extent, the cosmetic
value of a non-rusting finish, combine to make stainless steel an ideal
choice for headers. Our system will produce more horsepower and last "'til
the cows come home"
