Default Header Help - 69 Chevelle L78
Since my car has a fresh engine, and this car is a day 2 vibe car, I want to put headers on. I plan on installing 1 7/8" long tube headers, ceramic coated, but don't know which brand has the best fit? May car is a manual steering car.

Thanks!

I am using 1.835" inch tubes. Engine builder suggests this size. What size are you guys using?

Hedman 1-3/4" headers fit very well, and the smaller tubes will actually perform better on an L78 (or even a street 454).
