Headers for a 1972 Which to buy?

[Bruce N.]

I'm considering some 1 3/4 to 1 7/8 to 2 inch step headers for my 454/425. Anybody ever try them? Yea they have to be custom made but heard they make the best power for this motor. Thanks.

In my opinion, the best headers for a street car are none at all. Yes, headers will increase power. However, there are lots of other problems associated with them for street operation. Chief among these problems are much more radiated heat into the passenger compartment, exhaust leaks and more.
