What angle is our plugs? L98 or Straight? I was wanting to grab a set of AFR's but didnt know what plug angle to go as my SLP headers state that they may not work with some plug angles.

 

Stock B2L heads have a straight plug angle. When you order the AFR's ask for the L98 angle plugs. Standard angle plug heads have fitment problems on thirdgens because the strut towers crowd the headers. This forces a bend straight off the flange that prevents decent plug clearance.

 

Thanx m8

 

That MAY be the right answer. I would ask AFR for their recommendations. The thing you have to understand is that once you start playing mix-n-match with headers and heads nobody really knows for sure unless they have done that exact combo before.

My AFR straight plug heads fit my headers which were designed for straight plug headers (don't worry about the brand- different car, different headers). BUT.... AFR stright plug heads ahve the plug offset laterally about 1/4" towards the exhaust port. So stock manifold probably wouldn't work, despite the fact I'm going straight-to-straight.

Did you know that AFR exhaust ports are also about 1/4" higher than stock heads? Well, they are.

Many times- no biggie. But depending on your combo of parts sometimes it's a very big deal.

 

eek, now I am scared again I guess I can call AFR and see what they say. I just have herd horor story's with false info so was hoping to find someone that has them already.

 

I have AFR 190s with L98 angle plugs. I also have Edelbrock TES headers. The plugs clear with no problem. I did have to shorten my spark plug socket and use a wrench to get them out though because a ratchet will hit the headers in a few spots.

 

now i'm a little confused.

my TFS heads are angle plug, they look like this:

so what are l98 angle plugs? this?:
