Does that mean that my engine would work better if I didn't have Hooker headers, pacesetter H-pipe & a flowmaster cat back?

Will my timing stay good even though I'm using a Cloyes chain on a Ford adjustable sprocket? Or how about brand-X C-clip eliminators on Moser axles in a Strange spool in a Ford 8.8 housing? Just some curious questions.

Mix and match (IMHO) is the only way to go. Very seldom does one manufacturer achieve the best in performance on every part. Headers need to be selected to match the exhaust ports. Unless you're using stock heads. Then the question might be.."How big will the exhaust ports be on my next set of heads?? Maybe I could get away with reusing them if a plan for future mods"

Come to the street, you might learn something
See it is things like this is the reason why I do not post on these boards,see if you would read my post I said I would not mix and match parts,that is my opinion,but I understand,no problem.
You can do whatever you want to your car and I can do whatever I want to mine,he only ask opinions,it is just like you get guys "at the track" you best belive other than maybe an intake or this part the exhaust is custom from front to back.
Black to answer your question BBK or Brothers sells Long tubes with ceramic coating for 449 1 3/4 tubes,I have a set and I like them.
