What headers flow the best?
I just installed my pro topline heads....and do notice better performance, from torque, to top end power!...but I am running the stock 1980 california headers...which look pretty small for the exhaust ports on these heads....do they make a bolt on headers that will hook up to the stock pipes for this car?
I already went to a free flow cat, and performance mufflers...but I am wondering if the stock headers are restricting flow?

OK, what you do is take about $50, and head for the 'Zone. Buy a bunch of reducers and elbows (the kind that clamp on) but don't buy any clamps. Go over to the next section, and buy about 4 tubes of JB weld and some muffler repair tape. :thumbs:
Intermission - drink some beer. The more you drink, the better this exhaust job will turn out. :cheers:
Now, figure out how many elbows and reducers it takes to adapt the headers, pookie the heck out of it with JB weld, and wrap the whole works with the muffler repair tape! :smash:
Seriously, all headers will require some pipe work... nothing 'bolts up'.
