Default I want to get some headers, which one?

I was thinking in a couple months that I want to get headers for my stock 94 formula. I haven't done too much research yet but I want to start at the front of the exaust and work back so the last thing I will be getting will be a catback.

so it leads me to my 3 main concerns, about which header I want

I want the easiest headers to install, and I want the AIR system to still work.

and exhaust drone is the other

exhaust flow is the last concern but if it flows better that stock im fine.

and of course price is another factor. and I definitely want LT's.


so give your opinions and if you know of the vendor(s) that sells them please add too! (and if there is another link about headers just give me that because im sure this has been dicussed many times before)

thanks

Pacesetters for sure. They fit great. I would recommend the RACE ones with no AIR or EGR unless you have to pass smog. I say this because the pass side is a BITCH to install with the AIR and EGR. I recently cut the air and egr off the header and had them welded. So much easier to install.

If exhaust flow is the least of your worries then why even bother? Your post seems very redundant. Its a V8 motor. Its decently loud stock. You modify it and guess what?!!! It GETS LOUDER. And why put money into a HIPO part and not worry about flow?

PaceSetters are going to be the cheapest and most common. So you will probably see most people reccomend them.

well flow is important, and the main reason I want headers is I believe that for the money its the best exhaust upgrade for the money? so might as well start with that then work with the other stuff later

Do not do un-coated headers, they will rust not too long after being put on. If you want a coated header go to the parts for sale section and keep a look out. I got a pretty good deal, took a few weeks of looking, but I got it. And if you do un-coated do not wrap them in header wrap. It will cause them to rust faster, as the wrap will just soak up water.
