Skunk2 is proud to announce its all-new Alpha Header. Patterned after our already popular and dyno-proven MegaPower Headers, which have been used by leading, competitive race teams for years, Skunk2’s Alpha Header employs many of the same design characteristics and technology. Our decision to produce the Alpha Header was driven by our desire to make our race-proven design more affordable and accessible to everyday enthusiasts. New manufacturing techniques allow us to do so at a lower overall cost, making race-winning header technology available to everyone. Skunk2’s Alpha Header offers Skunk2 performance, industry-leading customer service, and a full warranty policy, all at a price comparable to lesser budget-minded headers. Unlike the budget-minded headers, though, only Skunk2 Alpha Headers ensure precise fitment and the peace of mind of knowing that a Skunk2 representative is just a phone call or email away.
All Skunk2 headers are designed and engineered to maximize exhaust flow and increase both horsepower and torque throughout the powerband. The unique design is the result of more than a decade of racing experience coupled with computerized modeling and extensive dyno testing. Each Skunk2 Alpha Header features equal-length, sequentially paired, stepped primaries and a 4-2-1 tri-Y design that terminates into a collector with a 2.5-inch outlet. These features, paired with Skunk2’s unique design specs, provide an extremely broad powerband that’s applicable to a wide range of engine sizes and configurations. Alpha Headers also feature the smallest possible primary tubes required to achieve optimum overall and peak power. By minimizing the primary tubes’ diameter, Skunk2 is able to maintain the highest possible exhaust gas speed throughout the header, which improves mid-range power and throttle response significantly. Skunk2’s Alpha Header provides the perfect combination of top-end power without sacrificing mid-range performance or throttle response.

Power and ear pleasure
Firstly I rated this a 4 instead of a 5 because I was expecting a fit right on type of header, but as my mechanic tried to slide it in it would not fit because of a piece of the car was in the way, so he had to barely trim it to get it to fit, maybe there is another way but this what I went to.
Noise, for completely stock exhaust the sound isnt aggressive but it does have a noticeable volume let's just say your still safe from a noise ordinance.
Power, the throttle response not only is more responsive at the slightest acceleration but your car feels as of it still has more pull even at 5th gear, you can feel it in your stomach and you will have to watch your speed in community areas.
Great combos: If your into crackle and pop, a great combo would be the versa tune and this head and I promise you wont stop smiling.
Over all great product of I had a second miata i would definitely get it again.
Response from Fab9:
Hey Elijah, thanks for the review. A quick trick for others and for you in the future, take the hardware out of the engine mount on the exhaust side and lift the engine 2”. The old will slide right out and the new right in!
