Out with the Macs...In with the dynatechs Though MACs are without a doubt, the best bang for the buck for headers...I've decided to try some full length headers (1 3/4 ---> 1 7/8 stepped) to maximize my top end a bit more (6000+ rpm).
With the gearing that I have, I'm not really concerned with low end torque <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I'm most likely gonna fab up a dual 3" exhaust w/ x-pipe to finish the exhaust.
Any idea if I'll gain anything other than a louder exhaust system <img border="0" alt="[chug]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_chug.gif" />

Re: Out with the Macs...In with the dynatechs more than likely you wil gain some midrange power and some top end power but I dont see you making more than 6~9 more rwhp up top. Around 3500 rpms you might see upwards of 15 rwhp <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Out with the Macs...In with the dynatechs Check out my sig for pics of stepped headers with custom dual 3" with an X-pipe and custom merge collectors. I redid the exhaust this week and replaced the crimp bends on the driverside with all mandrel...
