hey, thinkin about gettin some headers....... any of u have pasesetter headers? r they easy to go in without any mods? i was planning on getting them from jcwhitney.com....im pretty short on cash and i dont care what they look like cuz my stock engine really isnt anything to show off......here is the site....... http://www.jcwhitney.com/item.jhtml?...=11175&BQ=jcw2

 

I wouldn't get them, they'll be fine for your 305, but if you ever plan on gettin more HP out of that motor or another one, those 1.5 primaries might start to choke it.

I'd save up an extra $100 for Hooker headers, I don't have any personal experience with them, but from reading the boards, they seem like a great choice.

 

well if i were to get a new engine.....i would buy better powder coated headers.....are u saying that they would choke my 305?....but ill check out the hooker ones......

 

here are the holley hooker ones from jcwhitney.......are these better and do they come with a y pipe? plus what are all those footnotes......do any apply for me? thanks

anyone with these?

 

Those won't come with a y-pipe because they're long tube headers.

You'd need to have one made which will more than add to the overall cost.

If you need AIR..... then the Pacsetters are not a bad deal. The reason Mark says they're OK for a 305 or a mild 350 is they're 1.5" primary pipes. They'd be OK for up to 330-350HP with the main focus of the build-up being torque.

If you don't need AIR, then look for the Hedman Hedders Headers at www.jegs.com


I posted some links to them on another thread titled "SLP vs. Hooker", or something to that extent.

 

It was "Flowtech Headers"...

Here's a link for ya ---> https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=149462

 

I have a friend that owns a performance shp and he said he wont sell them if he is installing them. This is because he said they fit like ****. I dont think i would buy them myself. I have always had good luck with hooker. They have nice emission legal ones too that are prolly pretty nice. Goodluck.

 

ok still thinkin about the headers....a friend told me to only go with brand names so......are these hedman ones good? plus what is the thing on top of the headers for? https://www.jegs.com/cgi-bin/ncommer...59&prmenbr=361

 

heddman does make good headers, on top is the emssions hookups. If you are trying to be 100% emmisions legal that is exactly what you should buy. long tube headers will give you more performance but if you are tested I would either buy those slp or the hooker emmsion legal headers. Hope this is of some help

 

ok.....but what hooks into them?
