Your mileage may vary - depends on how you connect the header to the pipe. My O ring on my ProLine didn't seem to last long at all - the O ring on my Astral seems to last at least 50 flights or so.<br><br>

<div> <br><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">Guys,</span><br><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> </span><br><span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt">I'm debating which header to get. I already have 822 headers. The Central header is stated as being lighter, and also at larger diameter which should help the exhaust. What are some pros/cons with each? I've had good luck with the 822, but also had one break (which was easily reweldable due to its being steel.). </span><br>
