TORRANCE, Calif. (Mar. 1, 2004) – Good news for Honda and Acura owners who want street-legal performance that’s affordable: Edelbrock’s new Pro Flo 1-piece Headers were issued Executive Order (E.O) number D-215-60 and are now emissions-legal in all 50 states.

The Pro Flo 1-piece headers feature a new 4-2-1 design that eliminates the intermediate flange gasket. Prototype tests showed gains on a stock motor of 7 ft./lbs. of torque @ 5,500 rpm over a competitor’s 4-into-1 brand while retaining the stock cat-back exhaust system. Edelbrock’s Pro Flo 1-piece headers have outstanding performance features such as mandrel-bent 1_-inch primary tubes, heavy-duty 3/8-inch laser-cut flanges for a positive gasket seal and ceramic-coated 16-gauge mild steel construction. Other advantages are lighter weight, better ground clearance and easier installation.

Applications for the Edelbrock Pro Flo 1-piece header are: #47522 for 1994-99 Acura Integra GSR; #67312 for 1997-01 Acura Integra Type R; #67322 for 1994-01 Acura Integra GS/RS/S (non-VTEC); #67342 for 1992-95 Honda Civic LX, DX, EX, Si; #67362 for 1999-00 Honda Civic Si (VTEC); and #67352 for 1994-98 Honda Del Sol (B16A VTEC).
