Any thoughts or input. I am not selling just curious but I bet my headers are nasty inside by now. Is this a bolt on and what are the +'s and -'s for using them ?

(-) They will only flow as much as the tiny exhaust port at the head........
fwiw-

I would put exhuast mods at the top of my list for increased engine performance. However headers, like camshafts are tuned for specific engine speed ranges. And unfortunatly the rest of the exhuast system (on a street driven vehicle) will nulify the header's ability to suck exhaust from the cylinders. But headers are much less restrictive to the air flow, which is good.
There are some downsides though: the are loud, what about the catalists and O2 sensors, etc.
I would much prefer high performance heads, which would allow better exhaust flow at all engine speeds.

I just ordered a new set and paid $140 with shipping. There are still 5 days left on that auction and I have a feeling it will go for more than what I paid.
Just my thought. |

John C. Can you explain your plans to increase performance ? What set did you order.
Thanks,

Hardcastle reckons the std 4->2 manifolds are as good as most headers on the market. If you have
4->1 manifolds, go to the 4->2 units, and down pipes for some good gains. The 4->2 units also are asymetric to avoid interference in the adjacent firing 5 and 7 cylinders.
