I run a small block mopar so I just got a weld up set of headman hustler smallblock Chevy headers. I also ordered a few extra 180's from them at the same time.

Mild steel wont last (a few years) due to the heat. Also, how much hp are you shooting for? Many tests and examples have shown shorty headers, manifolds, etc can support 1500 hp.

I see they are for a turbo... my mistake 6417264-MVC-006F.JPG (21 downloads) Last edited by MR_P_BODY; 01/14/11 02:42 PM.

They will have it drop shipped at a good price. If your going V bands racepartsolutions.com is hard to beat. Tell Dman a redneck from Kentucky told ya
