Default C4 Long Tube Headers

Is there a particular style of Long tubes that will fit on the C4s well?
Planning a Carb swap and hunting down parts.

There are quite a few options for long tube headers for our C4’s. For cheap look into headman and they go up in price from there

I'm personally interested in the ARH offering also. Hi-Quality and the scavenger spikes in the collectors are primo features. Cost is slightly outrageou$, but in my experience with headers over the years, cheaper just means more headaches down the road. I'm frustrated that they don't offer them as Just the headers like they do with their other systems. I have my own x-pipe setup and won't be using theirs. I called 'em about this but never got a response. Spoke with TPIS a couple times about ordering a set from them, and never heard a thing back 😕 ARH will get my $$ when the time comes. Then off to ceramic coating 👍

I have been running ARH stepped headers. Quicker by .15 seconds in the quarter over Hooker 2151 1 3/4" headers. Happy with them.

From TPiS' website:

*** We are currently out of stock on all C4 headers. We are processing existing orders and working on production operations to be able to manufacture these headers in a more efficient and timely fashion and still deliver a quality product you'd expect from TPIS. Material lead times, lack of suitable employees to hire have lead us to re-evaluate how we can produce these headers and other products of ours.***

If you are running a stock cam and plan no further upgrades, 1 5/8" should be fine. If you are going to upgrade your 350, I would go with 1 3/4".
