Drove Black Beauty today, the cutouts were closed, to many sour puss staties around here, WOW https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...emlins/eek.gif, I like the headers, it really pulls allot stronger in 1st and 2nd.
Also put on a set of Comp engineering slapper bars, pulls a tad to the left on launch.

Re: Do you run headers ?
 

Sounds like you had fun to day old man! You can adjust the snubbers to help the pull left or right. I bet you are feeling young again. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ns/worship.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...iggthumpup.gif https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif

Re: Do you run headers ?
 

I will tighten up the gap on the L/H snubber and do more of this... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/3gears.gif... behind CAK tommorrow.
I will mess with the timming some too.

Re: Do you run headers ?
 

Just in case nobody has mentioed them already.I recently installed a set of "header buddies" on my Car.These are replacements for the stock 3 bolt collector redcers that come in the box with most headers.These are reducers that doesnt use a gasket.They have a very slight flanged crimped into the pipe,and a small{maybe 1/8") of pipe that goes into the collector on the header.They come with new 3 bolt flanges as well.I was watching Two Guys Garage one morning and they were giving them props so I decided to try them on my newest project.After I installed them,I called the guy who makes them and told him how great they are.They only cost about $40 for the pair and come in many sizes.I as very impresed.Good luck.

Hello,
I am really thinking about installing some headers on my stock 70 LS5 Chevelle. The exhaust manifolds that are on the car are not the right ones and will have to come off at some point anyway. This is a #'s matching style car that is driven just about every weekend. I am not too worried about changing gaskets if needed. Call me crazy, but I love stock appearing musclecars wih a nice sounding aftermarket exhaust along with headers. But I also like the simple and correct look of the factory exhaust manifolds. (I would have to find the correct ones of course..)
So my question is this... Who all runs headers on their mostly stock/restored cars?

[/ QUOTE ]A few things to keep in mind. 1-the headers won't add any power that you'll actually feel in the seat of your pants.2-the car will be a bit noisier inside, as sound dissipates out the tubes more than cast iron and will be heard through the firewall.3-because of the sound bleeding through as explained in #2, the exhaust out the rear of the car may actually be a bit quieter as a result
