Replacing headers will give more or little performace? (having a good muffler, of course)

i noticed an imporvement. good SOTP. i nailed it off a stop light and it spun the tires till i let off, it used to do it for like 15-20, after headers, it went a lot longer lol1997 Camaro 15.3@91 with a 2.35 60ft-B&M Ripper, SLP Knob, SLP CAI, LT1 DS, EBC Pads. 1994 Camaro(Sadly Sold)-Hi flow cat, custom flowmaster american thunder cat back, KN FIPK, Accel wires, Plat plugs, 160 thermo, Fastchip, Pacesetters.Comment

I noticed a big difference on my old camaro..
But I also did heads/cam/headers and full exhaust at the same time [img]smile.gif[/img] ...and it was a 350.98 Firebird. See it here: <a href=\"http://www.burnoutbrigade.com/BBchrisb.htm\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.burnoutbrigade.com/BBchrisb.htm</a>Comment

Do you guys really think there is a difference? I took my pacesetters off when putting the turbo headers on, the pipes are not only the wrong shape, but they don't even line up with exhaust ports. They look cool, and make plug changes easier, but I would bet money that the 00-02 manifolds would out flow pacesetters.
Rk's are probably better, but the 1.75 primarys have got to kill lowend torque.

Camaros with the later 3800's won't feel much of a difference when puting headers on a nearly stock car.
Do some more mods and it's header time.
Now on a 3.4L it is a different story.\'85 Z28, T-tops new LG4 and TH700<br />\'85 3.4L 5-speed<br />mods: <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/oil_pan_4\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/oil_pan_4</a> the nitrous exhaust O2 safety, pg 3. <br />Areo space materal engineer wantabeComment

if they gave you no power gain at all, the change in the exhaust tone is well worth it. I did my entire exhaust all at the same time, so I cant comment about the gain from any single aspect of it. But I can say that my setup kicks!Comment

Guys, All your coments concurs very well with the oil pan 4's one. It looks like it will not be a good idea to buy headers since my Camaro is a 3.8 99'. I will be looking for a good muffler and a cat back. Any recomendations?Camaro99\'3.8, original spoil package (no body mods...PROUDLY), K&N, Lid 3800II, SLP CAI, Flowmaster, Z28Chrome Tips, 180* Thermostat.Comment

Headers will only work as good as the rest of the exhaust (and intake for that matter). You know, only as strong as the weakest link. Anyone to suggest that tubular manifolds would be as good as headers didn't do something right. The main reason headers work is because of the scavenging effect. This helps suck the exhaust out of each cylinder when the exhaust valve opens. Without headers, your volumetric efficiency may only be 60%-70% but once you put headers on, the efficiency can jump up to 90%. Of course, that will only depend on the rest of the exhaust.Comment

the 2000 plus have tubular manifolds and will tend to notice less of a difference than earlier modles untill major mods have been done.2001 Arctic White Firebird With Black Drop Top<br /><br />3:42 Gears<br />Zexel LSD<br />BMR upper A-Arms<br />Trans Am exhaust with 3\" I-pipe and cutout<br />Modified intake<br />Mecham Hood<br />Trans Go shift kit<br />Making rear control arms and panhardComment

other than sound, didnt really feel a gainI guess I\'d have answer your question with another question.<br /><br />How many Abidiginals do you see in modeling??????<br /><br />headers, 3inch magnaflow cat, Loudmouth<br />99 Midnight Blue Firebird<br />3.8L A4Comment

What information did you keep track off to come to that conclusion? 1/4 times, 60' times, fuel mileage, etcOriginally posted by Snuffalofogus:
