1971 LT1

Does anyone have any experience and recommendations with what headers work best with AFR 195 Eliminator heads? Straight or angled plugs?

Thanks

I haven’t used them myself, but I’ve heard good things about Flowtech 31106FLT headers. 1 5/8” primaries to a 3” collector. Works just fine with straight plugs.

I used Doug's headers with my AfRs worked great. I used both the side pipes then went to normal headers no issues with both

I have a set of the Flowtechs. Excellent fit and good access to the plugs.
