Default What headers to install
Ok you guys ,this one might be for the tec guys. Im going to build a 383 its going to be a low to mid range car lotsa torque,so im thinking try Y headers , they used to be popular way back when but i think they might be catching on again. What do u guys think

If you want to go cheap, get the Summit brand headers for $89 bucks.
They fit perfect with no denting or anything and sealed right up!
