Well im not getting these till spring but i like having all my ducks in a row and having some idea on the prices. I was just gonna get some BBK Ceramic 1 5/8 long tubes. But does anyone know of better ones? Also with my 347 combo should i go with a different primary size? I tried to find Bassanis shorty X for our years but i had no luck anyone know where i could find that? Thanks guys

IMHO, I like my BBK LT headers just fine.

Hey John

I don't have an answer
but
I got a Q

Since you got 50 more cubes

I gotta wonder if 1 3/4 would be more better than 1 5/8

The typical na 302 street car will suffer a bit of performance down low with 1 3/4" LT's is one of those things I've always seen.

Just to make sure I was on the right track with that kind of thinking

I asked Ed Curtis when I was working with him on my combo

He poo pooed that thought very quickly.

Might have to get a Dart block but don't want to and if I do, then 363 instead of 331. Thoughts on what I've already bought so far.......
