These factory manifolds are notorious for internal turbulence caused by rough casting surfaces and sharp, non-optimized bends that impede exhaust gas velocity. This restriction causes significant backpressure, forcing the 4G64 engine to work harder to evacuate spent gases, which ultimately results in increased cylinder head temperatures and a measurable loss in volumetric efficiency. Over thousands of heat cycles, these cast units are also prone to stress-cracking, leading to exhaust leaks that trigger CEL codes and degrade performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis header system is engineered from premium T-304 stainless steel, a high-chromium\/nickel alloy that offers superior resistance to corrosion and thermal fatigue. Utilizing mandrel-bent tubing, the system maintains a consistent internal diameter throughout every curve, ensuring laminar flow and maximum gas velocity. The CNC-machined flanges provide a precise, warp-resistant mating surface against the cylinder head to prevent leaks. By optimizing the path of exhaust pulses, these headers facilitate better scavenging, pulling more fresh air into the combustion chamber for improved throttle response. The kit features a 2.061\" inlet and a 2.233\" outlet, specifically tuned for the airflow requirements of the 2.4L SOHC platform, and includes an O2 sensor bung for a direct-fit integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e4G64 \/ D52A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e150 hp \/ 158 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eUl105FU46LL179NA \/ HDSME00L4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eT-304 Stainless Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS Coupe 2-Door 2.4L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2000-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Coupe 2-Door 2.4L\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e2001-2005 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS Spyder Convertible 2-Door 2.4L\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Mitsubishi Tuning Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the JDM-enthusiast market, maintaining the balance between high-RPM flow and mid-range torque is essential.
