These Pro Tuning Lab header system doesn't have all the pinching that the Edelbrock TES has at the collectors from the headers and the y-pipe. So do you guys think that they will flow better the the Edelbrocks?

I'll vote yes. The collectors actually look a bit less restrictive than Vic's overpriced/under-performing ones.

Hell those look nicer then the Edelbrocks! The quality on on the TES headers is absolutely horrible.

Re: Look alike Edelbrock TES header system. Good or bad?

They do not look like the edelbrocks in that they don't have that tube running over the other on the pass side, making it difficult to acces stuff down there. They also don;t have the squished tubes into the collector. These look a lot better.

I dont like the Ebrocks, the y pipe is on the side of the pinch weld on the body so i cant use my UMI SFC.

Re: Look alike Edelbrock TES header system. Good or bad?

You should take one for the team and buy a set. they sure sound good - stainless steel with air tubes. I wonder what size primaries they have.

I would take one for the team, if I had the money. If I can sell my EDL TES that I got, and turn around and buy those, them I'm all for it. But due to all the negative info on the edelbrock's, I don't think anyone would buy mine for $200 shipped.
