Headers

[tkocurek64]

Headers are something ive been toying with for a couple months.

Long tubes or shorties?

What am i gonna do with the cats if i do go long tubes

The answer is always long tube. why bother going through the same amount of work just to end up with a shorty that isn't much better than the stock manifolds? Shorties serve a purpose in cars with a tight engine bay that makes long tubes prohibitive.

LTs......

Depends on how much you want to spend. There are companies that supply the cats and y pipe. ARH are top quality.

Long tube for sure. You can't go wrong with ARH or Kooks.

Long tubes.....


When guns are outlawed, I will be an outlaw.

I would go shorties. Headers are worthless anyway. Save the money.

This guy is full of shit. Don't listen to him.

Ram horns - cast iron exhaust manifolds off a 67 Corvette 327-350 HP. They would work perfectly in a truck which will rarely see 5000 RPM. You would need a good cross-over section about half way back to get the fuel economy up a bit.

Headers don't really begin to work until at least 4500 RPM

Don't think his truck has a 350 in it

My last truck saw 5k RPM daily...

If you go with headers, definitely long tubes. Be prepared to lose power on the bottom end. Look into a Maggie if you do any towing to get your bottom end back.

If you ever plan on putting in a turbo, save the money, they're not as beneficial.
