Any recommendations?

Gibson, Banks, Edelbrock, JBA, et al?

 

Dynatech is the best. JBA is decent, i'm talking longtubes though, is that what you want?

 

I am looking at headers myself. I was sold on the Dynatechs until someone posted picks of his "stainless steel" Dynatechs rusting out. He claimed he was having issues getting a hold of Dynatech about this and never did post the outcome but at a 1400 buck price tag I have been looking to other companies.

The OBX headers on ebay are also stainless and are only 500 bucks but you will have to get some high flow cats as they only come with resonators. Still far cheaper than the Dynatechs and several members here have them. Several members also have the Pacesetter long tubes and again you will have to get high flow cats. They are around 250 bucks and also make a ceramic coated set that are around 500 bucks. I had some ceramic coated Headmans on my old Nova and they looked great and were suposed to be imune to rust as they were coated inside and out. They ran a lot cooler and could be touched a few minutes after turning the car off. Kooks also makes stainless long tubes but again they were pricy. I really don't get why headers are so f'ing expensive!

 

There's also pacesetter for about $280. Don't bother with shorties, they're pointless from what I've read. I think the coated pacesetters go for $4-something. Or you could buy the cheap ones and have them recoated yourself somewhere.

 

i like my OBX's for mine.

 

whatever you do, stick w/ only longtubes, shorties net you no power/torque.

 

ive had pacesetter long tubes for a little over a year now, and not have had a problem since...just dont get shorties they r a waste

 

just wondering how much increased cab noise to expect from LTs. also how much more power can you expect with a good tune high flow cats and cai. what about gas mileage. thanks guys
