NHRA Mandated Collector Tethers? WTF?
Effective Jan. 1, 2014, removable multi-piece exhaust collectors/stacks must be securely fastened with an NHRA accepted header tether to prevent loss of collector/stacks during competition. A current list of NHRA-accepted header tethers is available on NHRARacer.com
You guys believe this shit? This stuff is getting ridiculous...
Just because some dumbasses don't bother to check to see if their bolts are tight, or missing now everyone has to use this stupid things???
$199

You know how the deal works by now........NHRA (NHRA accepted) gets 25% of sales. Outlaw tracks FTW!!!

Re: NHRA Mandated Collector Tethers? WTF?
That price is ridiculous beyond belief. Trying to make up for lost profits from racers going to outlaw tracks instead.

What is next tethers on the turbo stuff too? After all, they are nothing but a 40+lb weight hanging on with tubing.
I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

It's friggin ridiculous I think. Sure, I can see collectors can fall off, but so can a thousand other things on a car.
