Default What do you guys think? HEADERS?

What do you guys think, is there a lot to be gained by installing headers on a C-5? Can you tell me the skinny on coated headers. Who makes the best headers these days. [IMG][/IMG] :seeya

You can expect 10 to 20 rwhp depending on your mods. I really like TPIS and FLP headers. If you are installing them yourself the FLP's are nice because they do not require any welding. :seeya

Our LG Stainless Long tubes do NOT require any welding either.

And if you buy the "X" pipe, you can save your complete system for later use.

Thanks,

I had the FLPs but upgraded to cartek 1 7/8" headers. I put the FLPs on myself no problem and they went together ok. I think they are the best value you will find. :cheers:

When I had H/C installed, everyone kept telling me I needed headers as not only would it provide more power, but better flow as well.

I'm glad I listened :yesnod:
