Headers

10-11-2004, 05:34 PM

I have been to many sites looking for some headers for our car and I dont seem to find anything except The Other Guys headers.

What are some other brands of headers that are available?

If you had to go in progression of best hp for the buck, after buying an intake/exhaust, would the headers be the next logical part to upgrade?

S&S has a set of headers as well.

I notice when reading your mods Formulanerd that you do not have headers listed. Do you own the S&S headers or know anyone that does? How do they compare to the other guys product in performance and quality?

FormulaNERD · 10-11-2004, 07:31 PM

nope, no headers.... not sure who has them, sorry

I haven't done many engine mods yet, and i'm not sure what i will do, but what exactly are the headers, and how would getting different ones improve your horsepower. I think i've heard of people porting and polishing their own, but i'm not sure whats involved or what benefits come from it, or why. Anyone care to explain? Sorry to hijack your thread green99gls.

TOG headers are better IMO, and they are dyno proven and also have a great warranty

Headers replace the stock exhaust manifolds.

Dont bother trying to port the stockers.

Headers alow the exhaust gases to escape faster. Better exit flow.

Both tog and S&S headers are similar. Small differances but Im sure overall hp is probably pretty close between the two.

and the s&s you can get without the flex pipe for 350.

turtles_ride · 10-11-2004, 09:45 PM

so if you get headers, does this sort of solve the problem with blowing the manifold gaskets? Just wondering.

FormulaNERD · 10-11-2004, 09:50 PM

no, big difference between intake and exhaust manifold.

you have to buy a flex pipe!?

I just got the S&S today

But with getting the hood, I'm waiting until January to install them

10-12-2004, 02:42 PM

I would say let me know how they are Redog but I dont think I can wait until January. Thats a long time to have something sitting around. I would go nuts in anticipation.

Redog · 10-12-2004, 02:50 PM

I will but like I said with buying the hood and going to England in January, installing them is not in the cards right now

I apologize for my stupidity about cars I am just now really starting to get into modding and havent learned much yet. What is the difference between having a flex pipe and not having one. 350 is obviously much cheaper than about 700 for TOG's

If you dont get the flex pipe you will have to have a exhaust shop create one.

So let me get this straight.

If you buy the TOG headers you dont need to get a flex pipe because the headers already have it built on. But if you go with the S&S headers, you have the choice of purchasing with or without the flex pipe.

If this is the case and Im assuming correctly any ideas on the cost to have a shop create that piece?

Yes the TOG's come with a flex pipe.

Im not sure on the s&s but I kind of remember them selling the flexpipe attached to a cat which bumped the price up. See the picutre below. The cat is attached to the flex pipe.

I love my TOG's. I little on the loud side but that may have to do with having no CAT.

Why did you remove the CAT
