Hey all - Simply put, I know zero when it comes to exhaust headers.
I'd like to replace my crossover pipe and run true duals. Physically, this isnt a problem. Technically, on my end, I havent even been through class 101.
I was hoping that perhaps anyone with insight could share their knowledge in regards to brands to lean away from, maybe some factual info about what to look for of specs, or even personal experiences of what some of you may be running or have used in the past.
As it stands currently, they all blend together in my eye - But I'm far from even a novice - My egg hasnt even hatched yet. I'd like to go no higher than 200 for a pair, and Summit has many to fit such price. If justified, I could see that bar raising up to 500.
My 350 is still stock, and will remain as such until it croaks. It runs strong so this may be a few years down the road. Im still in the process of restoring and there's quite a bit left to handle.
Another question is the rest of the exhaust system. I've always know of the exsistance - But the pre-fabbed kits, all inclusive - Has anyone ever actually installed one ? As above, brands to lean away from, experiences, etc would be appreciated.
Id like to get this started inside the next two weeks. Theres no real hurry, but the honey-do list is starting to back log, with no intermission in sight.
So, here I am, popping a flare - Any helpful replies are appreciated and thanks in advance.
