stang106 Gearhead Posts: 786 From: God's Country!... Port Alberni B.C. Canada Registered: Jul 2001	posted 11-21-2002 11:23 AM I'm looking at a set of 1 3/4 X 32" with 3"collecter Hooker Supercomps headers. Is 1 3/4 primarys too large? What is the determining criteria? I'm aiming to go into the 12 second area with the 351W. I now go 13.70 with cast iron manifolds. I may only use the headers at the track. Dave IP: Logged

How you gonna only use the headers at the track? I've changed tires at the track but never a pair of headers. SteveW IP: Logged

Canada Registered: Jul 2001	posted 11-22-2002 06:06 AM Steve, I had my exhaust built with the ability to disconect the pipes before the mufflers but after the 'dorky' X-Pipe to retain some scavaging. I still like the cast manifolds as the car appears to have a 'stock' motor and nobody thinks it can go fast or beat them. Dave IP: Logged
TomP Gearhead Posts: 6007 From: Delta BC Canada Registered: Dec 99	posted 11-22-2002 04:11 PM With the stock manifolds it likely WON'T go fast enough to beat them... unless you are choosing off riceburners. Even the 1 1/2" or 1 5/8 headers are a huge improvement from those manifolds. IP: Logged
