Re: Headers??

look around the board some. use the search at the top. for shorties i think the agreement is hooker 2055's with the 3 inch y pipe. if you need smog rated they are pretty good. if you want long tubes - use the search link - there are a lot of them around.

There is also a very helpful sticky post at the top of the Exhaust forum I created called "What's the best exhaust? What are the best headers?" Read it.

Just stay far away from Edelbrocks.

Re: Headers??

if you know your way around the car hooker 2055 are not too bad. Im 18 and not very experienced but me and a friend got them in pretty easy. hardest part is jacking the passenger side of the engine up and sliding the header in.
