a good header option?
So I have been looking around for some headers and I ran across these:

I was wondering if anybody else though these would be a good option for a 92 Camaro with a TBI 305.
Note: I have swapped the stock exhaust pipes for a 3" flowmaster cat-back, but it still has the original catalytic converter which I THINK has a 2.5" inlet.

Re: a good header option?
Yes, only if the headers have a 3" y-pipe to cat connection. Obviously you will need to get a factory replacement 3" cat.
The stock TBI/LG4 2.25" cat is pretty much a useless bottleneck on a 305 or larger - stock or not.

Re: a good header option?
I have the same flow masters u for w/hooker shorties. Very happy. I had headman long tubes on 78 TA SBC 355 & had lots of leaks at the block. They were great performing but I had to frequently re do gaskets which was a pita. If I had choice I'd go w/magnaflow exhaust. Good luck

Re: a good header option?
I'd personally go with either Dyno Don or Hooker 2055 headers. They are as close to "Bolt on" as you'll get and seem to be the favorite of the boards here. I personally run the Hooker 2055's and love them very much, mostly because I still have the emissions all hooked up. If you don't need emissions, then Dyno Don sells a set that don't have the AIR tubes.
