Re: Shorty headers

I'm not sure I understand what you're asking.
You want any picture of an exhaust system from the headers back?

Re: Shorty headers

Its a Small Block Chevy...you need shorty headers. SLP, Dynomax, Headman, Hooker, MAC, and many more sell them. More you pay the better the build quality. Thick flanges are a must, unless you enjoy replacing the gaskets and tightening bolts regularly. Coated ones will have lower underhood temps and last longer. 1 7/8 primaries is doable on a 350 but will be a restriction. They are rally for a 305. The best for a 350 is 1 3/4 primaries.

Ill try to get some pic uploaded to photobucket soon

1 7/8 primaries will not be a restriction on Your typical 350. I'm hoping you meant 1 5/8 primaries.

Re: Shorty headers

are you looking for a pic of the pipes after the headers? with shorties there is an intermediate pipe. it runs from the driverside header, around the back of the k-member to the passenger and they merge over to the passenger side. the headers usually come with a intermediate pipe, or they tell you which ones will fit. you need headers for the f-body of course.
