Speed engineering vs American racing headers The debate continues in my head whether I should get speed engineering headers or American racing headers 1-7/8 tubes. I have kooks on there right now but have to change because of the #1 primary. It swings out too far and interferes with the steering shaft. This was mainly caused from switching to an aftermarket k member and manual steering rack, we cut up the shaft to make it work but it’s at a crazy angle and is a pain to steer.
Any power differences you guys think? I’ve thought about constructing a different shaft but don’t want to go to the trouble of making it work. Price and power diff is main concern

Maybe texas speed is a better option.
Ive seen 50 good stories from SE AND 50 bad stories. Every other stainless header setup uses seamless tubing and thicker wall and have less issue than them, this coming from personal and professional experience both.
Plus tsp has a black friday sale that we sre offering also on their exhaust.

I can’t speak to your specific question about the primary tube extending out too far and I can’t knock SE headers but I can say that I am completely impressed with my AR Headers quality and workmanship! They are not cheap but I feel I got a great pair of headers.

My speed engineering headers were a relatively easy install. Granted I did motor mounts at the same time but afternoon the new mounts went in my headers just slid right in place from underneath with only the starter removed and sitting on jackstands.
