Would these work better than most others for the regular GT-40's/E7's/other aftermarket heads? Or would say.... BBK.. or MAC headers work better?

their designed to give more room around the #3 and #7 spark plugs on the P heads. with reagular headers on the P heads your going to have to make a special socket to change those plugs


ill get pics of my BBK shorties on the P heads soon so you can see what i mean

They would work the same as the rest they just give you more clearance for the revised gt40p heads. I went with bbk for the single flange design I didn't want to have to fight the tubes to align with the bolt holes.

Well chances are staying with the same brand will fit better and not be too difficult to install. But hell I have bbk equal lengh headers and a mac o/r h pipe it worked out for me.

yea i see ppl running all diff combos. the central coast are HTS coated and made to fit the p heads and are about 199. the bbk o/r x pipe is a nice deal and i would of course run flowmasters. thanks!

put the headers on tonight, i was wrong about #3 plug, u can get to that just fine.. its only the #7 that you would have to amke a special socket for

headers bolted to heads


socket i made (just cut a slit in a normal plug socket)
