Best full length headers?


Thanks for the info on the cams guys.

Next thing is the headers. I'm going full length, with a MAC pro chamber mid pipe. I was thinking of going with the MAC headers too, but if there are better ones out there for the money that will sound good with the pro chamber, then I'll take a look. Opinions?

if you want a nice, ceramic finish, stay AWAY from the BBKs. Mine looked like shit after about 20 mins of running on a new engine.

Ok, I looked @ the BBK's... should I go with the 1 3/4 or 1 5/8? is there really a big difference between the two?

1 5/8 is really all you will need on a small motor but it dont really make a diff what you go with.

I'm not too sure, I'm guessing maybe 375-400 at the crank w/o the juice. That might be on the sunny side, I think, but the guy who did my heads seems to think I'll be making over 400 w/o the juice.

They aren't that much bigger true but it's actually a very big diff. especially on a "lower hp car"..........if your gonna make around 400 then go for the 3/4's
