Just wondering if anyone has made their own 1 7/8 shorty header?

I am a bit leary of the LT headers, and now that i have a single 4" exhaust, i would have to change that set-up so I would rather stay with a shorty.

 

Anyone?

 

What did you use to run those #'s?

If it was what is in your sig....

Then these would work fine:

They are 1 3/4" primaries and 2 1/2" collectors Y can be 3 1/2" outlet.

 

Yes, in my old combo I did use a 1 5/8 hedman shorty with a 3" collector with dual 3" exhaust dumps


In my present combo a 1 3/4 header would work. But next year I want to bore to 406 and run about 12-12.5 compression and a 250 to 300 shot of nitrous so I would like a bigger header.


Hey Dyno Don, have YOU ever made a 1 7/8 shorty header? Is there enough room? I am thinking i would need 3.5" collectors too

 

No I have'nt never saw a need for them except in all out racing.

 

So at what hp level would a 1 3/4 shorty header start to be a restriction?

600hp?

 

Hi, new here... I would be interested on the feedback of this question also As I am currently kissing the 600 hp mark on motor and having to upgrade my headers... Only question I have is why would u go with shortys? I would think shortys would be a major hinderance in any high horse power application....

 

Our exhaust systems suck, no ground clearance. I want to keep with a shorty and 4" single exhaust.

Otherwise, if you go LT, you gotta make a custom y-pipe and scrape the ground.

406c.i.RS, what header do you have now?

 

I'm currently running the hedman long tubes pn#68460 .. they r cheap from summit and actually tuck up nice and tight!!! no ground clearance issues at all.. But they are only 1 5/8" and are choking my motor... I'm running a true dual setup with with my tail pipes actually coming out the rear.. UMI sells a panhard bar relocation bar that lets u run two pipes over the axle.... I launch really hard and when my front tires return to the track my headers never scrape.. When I say they tuck up nicely I mean they actually tuck up VERY hi!!

 

Got pics?
