Good Headers

09-23-2002, 07:48 PM

If i get a set of 1 5/8 shorty unequal BBk or FRPP headers will my car get any louder with an offroad x pipe and 40 series flows.

Definitely! I've got longtubes, H-Pipe and 2 chamber flows. It's pretty loud. The only problem is that everyone thinks you're trying to race them and the cops think you're speeding. It's kinda funny though to see people who were driving normal until they hear you take off and go zipping and dipping through traffic when you just take of normally at a stop light.

whatever headers you decide on, I'd recommend that you get the ceramic coated variety as they last longer, look better, and dissipate heat more efficiently... just a suggestion, it's not absolutely necessary that you do so.

yup, ceramic for sure and longtubes if you have the money... i like BBK's for the price.

take care,

Doesnt ceramic retain heat and act as a insulator, keeping the heat inside the header and out of the engine compartment? To disapate heat into the engine compartment doesnt seem like a very good idea, and I dont think that is the idea behind ceramic coated headers.

Mach1 youre right, it is to retain the heat inside the header and keep the engine compartment cool...

take care,
