I'd pass on those. 1 1/2 primarys and the y pipe looks like they added a 3 bolt flange to a stock unit.


heres some edelbrocks

yes and no, I guess it would work with a 91 with a catback exhaust. No promise it would line up, probably more than not it wouldnt. Junk headers though, spend your money on something better, or just buy used.

#1, you want performance, those headers are not best for that.
#2, make sure you have good heads on the engine. poor head choice+lopey cam=big ol dog.

Make sure to get a 3" exhaust, not some 2.5 crap.

"...hi flow y-pipe..." - Hah! More like "lo-flow T-pipe". And, as already stated, small 1-1/2" primary tubes.

Pass, pass, pass. Do not even consider.

Re: are these good headers?

Looks like the stock picture for summit headers... y-pipe doesn't look all that better than stock... it'd be ok for a stock 350 or a mild 305. I would prefer a 3" collector too... 2.5 is kinda weak for a smallblock.

I've got the exact same headers sitting in the spare bedroom and I ultimately decided to get a better set and eat the $80 I spent.

Edit: Just checked Summit, that's the flowtech y-pipe which is designed to fit their headers... the headers are modelled after flowtech headers.
