oil filter and headers
Is it true that if you run headers that you have to use a remote oil filter?

I don't think so. I have hooker shorties on my car and it's fine. Long tube headers maybe be different but I don't think so.

I run long tube hedmans and have no problems, Its probably better to use a remote filter with LT's to prevent the headers from heating your oil up.
