Header Tethers - Jury IN or OUT

[SStockDart]

My collectors are bolted on with grade 8 bolts and have never.....repeat, never had a collector come lose on either car. My collectors slide on the headers at least an inch and a half.....I have seen collectors (on other cars) come lose and fly off, but they were not secured like mine.
This is not like in 1965 when a SFI flywheel was required on a small block Chevy because the flywheel might come flying out of the car......I don't think that headers spin 8-9 thousand RPM..........and are subject to flying off. Collectors just sit there and if bolted or welded on......they can not come off. Why spend $150 for something that will not happen????


Now that I think about it a little more.....why not treat a collector coming off the same as an "Oil down"...what is more dangerous???? oil under the rear tires or a collector coming off??

Just my 2 cents
