Headers, Help!
Hey everyone i'm looking at eventually buying a set of headers for my stock 350 GTA. I have a few questions though. I am not very mechanically knowledgeable as of yet and am wondering what are my options for headers for my car? What are the different type of headers (long tube vs shorties)? And what are the differences among top brands. If you could answer some of these that would be much appreciated in helping me choose. Thanks. Josh

You really need to figure out what your goals are, this way you don't end up buying cheap headers in hopes of saving money, only to have to buy new ones later on.
Also, where did you get that polished radiator cover? I have never seen one for 3rd gens before...

Re: Headers, Help!
well the car is stock now with a rebuilt 350 a couple years ago, rebuilt 10 bolt, and has alot of maintenance done on it in the past couple years. The car has no cat converters and is straightpiped (no emissions tests where I live). I would eventually like it to get around 350-400HP but probably not past that. The car is a daily driver in late spring, summer, and early fall when theres no snow. Occasionally take to the track. What size of headers would be best?
