Im wanting to upgrade headers, get a little better flowing exhaust. Its pretty free past the collectors, but the stock manifolds bolted to vortec heads is lammeeeeeeeee i need MO FLO

@Catbox posted a pic recently of some he picked up from the junkyard, they appear like they would work perfectly, no modifications needed.

Ive heard a very small exhaust leak anyways.

Ive been searching for shorty headers for a 87-91 tbi truck, can't seem to find anything.
Just ram horns
Pictured is what im in search of.

Thanks peoplez

Uh, no......I could be......why?
There's a guy on the Chevelle forum with that name. I had been curious if that was you and if you had a Chevelle project going. I guess since there's only 32 people in the state you just put Idaho in front of whatever car you own and you have a username?

One more reason for a road trip @Vbb199 Vince!!! I have these exact headers on a shelf in my shop, come and get'em


What would it cost a man to have those shipped to me? Headers + shipping?

Have you looked at c4 corvette exhaust manifolds as an option. IDK personally but have been eyeballing them on Ebay. Does anyone know if the C4 manifolds will work on c's or k's

Im trying to figure out really if its a good move. I dont wanna lose bottom end.


As i was just telling someone in messages, its a tbi 350, with vortec heads, a cam with much more lpw end grunt, stock manifolds running to the stock crossover into a single 3" pipe, runnimg to a magnaflow 40.
I deleted the cat. Alsp dont have an egr anymore. Irs blocked off and the circuit is completely erased from the ECM.


@Ricko1966 whats your thoughts

You aways have some good insight.

No sir, those were smog long tubes. So rusty the collector snapped off

My thoughts in a perfect world no budget involved I'd have full long tubes on it with a balance pipe and duals in a budget friendly world I'd keep looking for something in someone's garage or look at some C4 exhaust manifolds I'd also look at escalade manifolds, that thought just popped into my mind. There's always Escalades in the Kansas City Pic n pull

You'd be the Belle Of The Ball, as they say, on the Chevelle forum.
