1 5/8 headers on a 350
1 5/8 headers on a 350
My friend bought a GTA awhile ago W/headers already on it. Since then he had done many performance mods. And we wanted to know how bad the headers are "hurting" him. How much of an improvement are 1 5/8 headers on a 350, over stock manifolds? Any Opinions welcome.

I have SLP 1 5/8 headers on my L98. You can see my mods in the sig. I got 1 5/8 for a few reasons, despite the fact that SLP calls for 1 3/4 on an L98.
I figured that the 1 5/8 would retain more low end power, and would still be a DRASTIC IMPROVEMENT over the stock exhaust manifolds up top anyhow. 1 5/8 should be able to support 400hp without a problem in my opinion.
