I recently received Rimmer's 6-into-one stainless header with the large bore
single pipe going back to a polished muffler and upswept tailpipe. Haven't
installed it yet because the header is at Jet Hot for sterling ceramic coating.
FWIW, the flange of the header matched-up perfectly with the flange/stud mounts
of the stock manifold. I am looking forward to installing this system. The
6-into-one is a real work of art and is made for Rimmers by Phoenix
Engineering, a firm in the UK which Rimmers speaks very highly about.

For those seeking alternatives there's also a Stebro exhaust. Rimmers was less
expensive than this but there ARE choices. See:
