What is everyone's opinion on the Edelbrock TES Headers? Are theey worth the 330 bucks? Does it make that big of a difference over stock with an aftermarket cat and cat-back? Thanks.

 

Please read the other threads in this forum on this very same topic.

 

The headers are by far the best mod I have done on my car, they took off a good .5 seconds in m 1/4 time. They look cool under the hood, and they made the car sound a heck of a lot better too.

They are worth the money-no doubt. I'm on my second set and they work great.

It depends. If you have a 305 and don't plan on changing to a 350 or 383 then they're fine. But with hindsight though I'd pony up the extra and get the SLP ones. I have to agree though, nice performance gain and they make the car much louder. Later

HEADERS are worth the money, but not Edelbrocks. They are about the worst headers made for our cars IMHO. If you need the AIR provision, get SLP's....otherwise take your pick, anything but Edelbrock.
