Hello everyone, I posted this in the external engine section but they told me to come over here for better answers

I will be building my 408 motor soon for boost and i was wondering what size headers to get...i bought a kit that uses shortie headers and i have 1 5/8 headers but i was thinking that they wouldnt be large enough for a 408. Maybe 1 3/4?? Also who would sell a shortie header in the size i need for a 99 camaro??

Thanks

Who is FFF Single Turbo Kit?

 

If you're adding a SC I'd suggest finding some 1 3/4" or 1 7/8". If turbo, the 1 5/8" will work fine, but I'd prefer to use 1 3/4" if you planning on making BIG power.

Edit: I just noticed the turbo kit... sorry.

 

im using 1 7/8 custom headers on my 408 with a gt55 turbo, just as reference from my build up at FMS. (assuming my car isnt floating down the road from the hurricane)

 

Who makes 1 3/4 shorties for a 99 camaro??

 

Sorry, I've never looked into it although I'm sure others here can answer that.

 

BBK makes the 1 3/4" check it out at Tbyrne....dunno who else sells it.

 

Heard BBK doesnt make the highest quality parts...but i will check it out anyway.
