I was wondering what size the tubes are on the Shelby headers...is the collector a 2.5" or smaller? Also...what might a set of original headers from a shelby go for? Just wondering b/c I wanna run 2.5" pipe on the HiPo when I drop it in my car...and I've saw some Tri-Ys that were 2". If thats the case I might sell them and get some Hookers.

It's even funnier when your gf reads it




Now...I just read something interesting. I'm hoping someone can prove this wrong to save me money but it said 67 Shelbys 289s retained the exhaust manifolds and didn't receive the Tri-ys from the earlier Shelbys.
