The heads primary job is the mixing of fuel and air and delivering this to the combustion chamber.

Lets look at the job of the coil in the spark system and see what it does.
Just as a power transformer converts mains 240 volts into a usable 9 volts for your charger or appliance a coil will increase the voltage.
A car battery/alternator will produce a paltry 12volts, certainly not enough to jump an air gap and create a spark.
An ignition coil raises the voltage in some installations between 20 and up to 40,000 volts and this allows the creation of a spark which can jump the air gap between the plugs. Read More...

"Blow that – exhausting stuff."
TorqueCars will take a look at sports exhausts as they are very popular modifications, but sadly many mistakes are made.
