Default New Headers
I am looking to purchase new headers for my 95 Z28 soon. I already have Jet Hot LT on the car for many years and they are looking pretty bad now. I want the stainless steel type to match my Magnaflow catback. The Kooks type are totally out of the question. Too much money! Been looking at Texas Speed or Speed Engineering type along with a matching y-pipe on ebay. Are these headers any good?

Post pictures when you're done. I'm interested in the ground clearance of these headers and may eventually ditch my Hookers for them for better ground clearance and going lower.

I just got them. FedX dropped them off on my front porch while I was at work today. That kinda ticked me off. When I got home there was this huge box stitting on my front porch for everyone to see. I am happy no one walked off with my package though. They look awesome and will be installing them soon.

I took them to Dynamic Machine Shop to check how square the flanges are. They are good to be installed. Also I'm wondering what type of replacement spark plugs to install?

Depends on what you have done to it and if you need a projected tip plug or not.

I run NGK TR-6s but Im just bolt-ons and exhaust.

If I was spraying it would be NGK BR7EF through BR?EF haha
