English term

bundle of snake headers

English to Spanish Other Automotive / Cars & Trucks Car modification description
There are a few concessions to modern technology that we’ll get to later, but for the time being we’ll focus on the similarities to an early 1960s build.
First and most obvious is the removal of the roof, the truck was built by master fabricator Jimmy Riordan at Wellbilt Kustoms in Buena Park, California. Every effort was made to give the truck an early '60s hot rod feel: fabricated headers that terminate in a megaphone (no bundle of snake here),

Bundle of Snakes - 180 Degree Headers

GT40 Exhaust Headers

Many of you have seen the so-called “bundle-of-snakes” headers on the infamous Ford GT40s of the late sixties. Those beautiful works of art built by English craftsman on the Lola-designed chassis where two tubes from each bank of the V-8 are crossed over the engine to collect in 4-1 collectors with opposing tubes

múltiple de escape/colector de escape

When the phrase “bundle of snakes” is uttered about an exhaust system, two cars come to mind: the Ford GT40 and Lotus 38. These were not the first vehicles to use this type of exhaust configuration, but they were the first to be called a “bundle of snakes” and make exhaust systems look more like art than science.

En ingeniería automotriz, un múltiple de escape, lumbrera, colector o headers es una unión de tubos o conductos que recoge los gases de escape de 1 o más cilindros de un motor térmico alternativo, a la salida de la cabeza del motor, juntándolos en un solo tubo.
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Múltiple_de_escape

Se observará que los gases muy calientes, (hasta 700ºC), que abandonan el motor se hacen converger en el múltiple de escape, y se conducen a través de tuberías a los distintos dispositivos que componen el sistema, hasta terminar en la atmósfera a través del tubo de cola.

Con los colectores de escape, así como con el resto de elementos del sistema de escape, como puede ser el catalizador, ocurre lo mismo.

Even though there is no standardized term or reference the correct term should be this one or similar; in Mexico the anglicism "headers" prevail, no where else... Also see; cabezales de escape (model) ...
