Default Edelbrock LT's

Ok, are the Edelbrock Victor Drag headers to big for street applications? Isn't 1 7/8 more for a higher horesepower application?

Any info would be appreciated. I am awaiting shipping cost on some pacesetters, however, this question is still on my mind..

apparently not. apparently, they are better for any application and the whole "1 7/8 are too big" thing is just a myth. they are nice headers from the pictures i have seen.

I put them on a week ago, I picked up 2 10ths in the 1/8th without any tuning. They fit well, and have great clearence.

I just got back from a Jobber show and picked a set up. They are pretty nice I think the ceremic coated look alot better but the Ti tech is "supposed" to be as good for alot less. I bought the welded version for my 98. I've had Kooks and Pacesetters in the past and these headers welds and construction looked good. Looking forward to getting in the car

well, thanks much - the shop owner told me that they would be too big, and would leak with the merge collector...

BUT that was BEFORE he tried to tell me long tubes wouldn't fit under my car

Good question. You'd think they'd open up a Jeg's catalog at least once in their lifetime.

Just order a set of Edelbrocks and buy some tools and install them your self. Header installs are pretty easy on these cars especially if you have a friend help you buy holding the header up while you get the bolts in etc...

Plus that way you'll get more into working on the car to save you some money on the next mod!!!
