ABSTRACT:
The present invention10discloses an exhaust header having heat sinks forming an integral part of the header conduit14. The heat sinks are in the form of a plurality of radially positioned longitudinal fins20extending between the distal ends of the exhaust header26. The extruded fins20welded at24to the engine exhaust conduits14tapering at22toward the flange16which is fixedly attached to the engine. At the other distal end a large, three-inch collector18is disposed having a rotating flange30with apertures32therein which flange encircles the collector. In an alternative embodiment, breaks28are provided in the fins. The present invention10is designed to improve cooling efficiency, reduce engine compartment temperature and provide greater overall structural integrity of the header pipes.
