I want me some headers

[will_95gt]

Alright, I have stock headers on my car and a bbk h-pipe with flowmaster catbacks. I want to get some new headers but how will I know if they'll fit my midpipes without knowing my h-pipe's specs? I'll basically have to get headers that are the same size as the stock ones right?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Essentially all of the aftermarket ones come with the stock ball-type flange to hook up to the mid-pipe. Some brand combinations will seal better than others, but you can pretty much get any brand header for it now and it should bolt-up fine. Don't get equal-length headers....

Don't get the Summit headers. I had to send those back.... I ended up going with the Ceramic coated BBK's. I have an AODE car, so longtubes were not an option IMO. The BBK's bolted in very easily.

I have to second........no problems with install or fitment......unlike the universal 302 headers......

I would say longtubes( I have BBK ceramic Lts on my AODE ) BUT since you have the bbk hpipe I would say get the bbk ceramic shorties. the ceramic coating dropped header heat by 200*

I recently Installed BBK Cer. Shorties. No Problems and they sound great!

I also run BBK shorties, No problems at all.

So ceramic is the best coating right? It supposedly keeps your engine cooler but where does the heat go? Does it hold the heat in the ceramic to draw it from the engine?

 

[gcomfx.com]

Holds the heat IN the header... which is rapidly moving air, so it can go out the tailpipes.

ahh ok... makes sense. Hey, Gcom, is that a 331 with the trick flows on it? It looks verÉ nyce

I have MAC longtubes in my 4R70W car (AODE case). Fit tight but work well - no modification needed to get them to fit - just had to get the motor out the car a bit.

GET THEM COATED. Good god at the heat they throw out (I have HTS coated).

I have BBK equals (chrome) and they fit great no problems at all.

Not to steal the thread but has anyone had any experiance with the hooker shorties? Ive heard they dont seal well from a few people but i was wondering if anyone else has heard that.

another vote for bbk ceramic shorties here. i had them on my car for 3 years then sold them. 5 years now and they still look good, just a bit more dull than when they were new. no fitment issues either.

^ SOLD THEM, now they still look good?????????????????????????? Iam confused now.

 

[will_95gt]

i guess bbk ceramic shorties it is!

now the saving money part...
