Question about RMW header

I've pretty much decided on adding the RMW cam and shorty street header. My question is does it have any type of flex joint? I haven't seen one in the pics. Thanks

The pics he posted don't show the rest of the header past the flange. The header will also have the CAT and use a bellows flex joint which will be very durable and reliable.

Just curious,

I have read some of your other posts and found that you typically recomend this header as a second mod after a pulley and possibly a one-balled OEM exhaust.

What gains would be generally expected with this header in a combinaton like that? I understand it is really generalized on each car etc, just looking for a ballpark.

PS. beautiful header!

There was a dyno somewhere on NAM that showed their result. Most people that get them around here we dyno tune the car afterwards. I have seen quite a few cars now pull in the 215whp range with

pulley
RMW header
RMW cam
RMW tune

rest of car stock
