You are not going to notice any difference. I'm not to happy at the headers that Edelbrock puts out. They seem to be living in an old era of Carb's.

I'm with V6 Bird! The stepped header is money well spent & and Edelbrock makes a nice header. There are several sets out there and we have sold a good amount our selves. No complaints with the SDPC crew!

i have them on my car and made the power below on a 90 degree day. personally, youre going to see power not only from the step, but also from the merge collector and 3.5" collectors with the expansion cone. these headers will make as much or more power as any other header on the market for 1/2 the price. they come with new non paper gaskets, emission fittings, new long enough bolts, and free O2 extensions. worth the $350 shipped i spent on the any day of the week.

the edelbrocks also use weld on collectors, so you can tune the length of the primaries...
