I don't have my Vette back yet with its new 383, they are finishing installing the Super Ram plenum and runners. They were testing it with the old stuff on top because somebody had the left and right SR runners on the wrong side and thought there was a problem. Anyway, my SW polished headers have a gleaming golden heat color on them and really look 
. I polished them per advice from Corvette Kid NC and do they look great. Installer had to ream the bolt holes a bit so he could get all of the bolts started without binding. That was the only install glitch on the headers. These 1 5/8's should match up well with my SR, 383, automatic and my driving style.

How do you determine which is best for a particular year/engine. I have a 92 Coupe with a LT-1. It has 47K miles on it. Purchased it in Jan. Like to just pep it up, not race. What will adding headers do to gas mileage ?

Smaller tubes?
Bigger is always better.

And in the eye of the application. I'm spraying nitrous and want large primaries because I'm more concerned about exhaust evacuation than any scavenging that may occur with smaller primaries.That being said,........
