Headers, everyone wants them for their hot rodded combo. But are they really an effective speed part? How much power and torque are they worth? Are bigger long tubes better than smaller long tubes? LS engines love air flow but what kind of differences will you see, and feel, if you equip your LS engine with the right headers? And what about shortys? That’s a whole different story.
Video Description:
HOW MUCH POWER ARE LONG TUBE HEADERS WORTH? WHAT MAKES MORE POWER, 1 3/4 HEADER OR 1 7/8 HEADERS? WHICH HEADER SIZE MAKES THE MOST TORQUE? DO LONG TUBE HEADER IMPROVE LOW SPEED TORQUE? HOW CAN I ADD MORE TORQUE? HOW CAN I ADD MORE POWER TO MY LS? DO LS EXHAUST MODS WORK? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I COMPARED 1 3/4-INCH LONG-TUBE HEADERS VS 1 7/8-INCH LONG TUBE HEADERS WITH TWO DIFFERENT CAMS (BTR TRUCK NORRIS AND SLOPPY BEST CAM). I ALSO TESTED THE EFFECT OF COLLECTOR LENGTH ON POWER BUT COMPARING A SHORT COLLECTOR EXTENSION VERSUS A LONG COLLECTOR WITH MUFFLERS. LOTS OF GOOD LS HEADER INFO HERE!
would like to see the benefits of a balance pipe vs x pipe . eg block huggers & balance pipe are perfect for my street application .
