Title: Original Empi headers ??? Ghia vs. Beetle is there a difference ? Post by: restojohnny on November 02, 2014, 18:29:44 pm I was comparing the 4 bolt Empi header on my ghia to the others on beetles and it's different. Is it listed somewhere that the headers are ghia specific ? or are they suppose to be the same as beetles ?
This is the one on my ghia. [attachment=1] Here's one for a beetle. [attachment=2] Title: Re: Original Empi headers ??? Ghia vs. Beetle is there a difference ? Post by: speedwell on November 02, 2014, 19:24:53 pm there's some blue on thaht header no ?? may be it's a cyclone

Post by: restojohnny on November 06, 2014, 17:26:56 pm Yes I agree I looked at all my cyclone headers last nite and they are all 3 bolt flange. The Empi Header I have is exactly like the one in the catalog and it appears to be chrome but the chrome is really bad :'(

Post by: Lids on November 06, 2014, 23:10:02 pm Flash hard chrome plating, also referred to as functional chrome plating, is applied as a thinner layer. It is ideal for close tolerance applications where an excessive build up of chrome is undesirable and where the requirement is to provide a durable hard wear-resisting surface.
