headers for LG4
I would like some advice on what headers will give me the best performance on my LG4 motor. I want to get a good sound, but the biggest issue is power increase. Thanks for the help.

Depends on your budget. Either way, no matter what you get, it will greatly help.
You have 2 options, to keep your car emissions legal or not. To take off the emissions, the headers are usually cheaper. IMHO Edelbrock or SLP headers are the best that stay legal. If you want to ditch emissions, I'd go for Hooker headers or hedmen headers (i believe hedman has both).

Yeah i've got the headmans. It sounds tons better and there are noticeable performance gains. I would recommend the headmans w/ the matching y-pipe if you're going to ditch the emissions crap.

I would recomend the Edelbrock TES, they are the best bang for the buck.

Yeah, I would just go with a cheap header. Headman's are fine, but they are 1 5/8" headers. For an LG4 that isn't about to undergo a major power upgrade I would try for 1 1/2" headers. They compliment the low power output of the LG4 better. I'll have to look and see who makes a 1 1/2" f-body header for cheap, 1 5/8" is by far the majority of the small block headers.
