Header Question
 
Since my friends gave me back some money i lent them awhile ago, im deciding wether or not to get some headers. I am looking for a really deep pitched sound to add from my flowmasters. It sounds deep as it is but i would like it to sound even meaner, engine wise i got a 5.7L 350. I am a semi noob when it comes cars ( i know a little bit) but i was wondering if your imputs could help me decide which headers to get as i dont know which ones blow and which ones are good.

Thanks

Headers will actually make the exhaust a little higher pitch and snappier in my opinion.

The choices are limited for your car unfortunetly.

For Shorties:
Dyno Don (From TGO)
SLP (stainless)
Macs/Edelbrocks/Hedmans

Longtubes:

Hooker Supercomps

I have a pair of ceramic coated Edelbrock TES headers that I was planning to let go.

how much u selling those headers for? And whats the main difference between shorties and longtubes?

their length which equates to power created. also cat(s) location

Unless you have allot of engine work done just go with the shortly/mid lenght headers. I had the Edelbrock TES headers on the 84Z ( 355 CI motor) and loved them. They work great with a mildly modded engine and are CARB certified. You get a few extra HPs and you won't have any clearance issues.

I had a pair of shorties which gave me excellent tq but they were flowtechs..horrible quality. I now have hooker super comp long tubes with 1 3/4 primary which aren't necessary for basically a stock engine but I have a 400 sbc which will get built for the car that will benefit with the 1 3/4 size. I didn't want to buy headers/y-pipe twice. Plus not to mention ground clearance but the car isn't my DD, so its not really a problem. Unless you have big plans, I'd go for the shorty/mid length.
