Default Re: Headers For A Chevelle

Nick, Other than looks I don't know if the bigger tubes would be any advantage to you. Maybe on a heavely modified motor. Super Comps are good Headers. JMO Sam

I like the appearance of ceramic 2 1/8" tubes. You're right, there's probably no performance advantage for my stock "LS-6". The best thing is to replace them with the same type.

I originally was looking to use the bigger tube headers for the aggressive look that they have and if I can get a few more horses out of the motor. Considering the combination that I have, I will stay with the 2" ones.

You're not kidding! Your car really sits up high. Do you have any pictures of how they look under the hood? Those headers remind me of the style that some guys put on the old Fords.
