Picked up some slip-tube headers for a Fox Stang using a 351C and C4 today for $60. Anyone have any pros or cons to say about them?
I dunno, but I'd guess that if you ever expose it to salt they wouldn't be "slip tube" very long - once a ring of rust got in there they'd probably never come apart.
My old Hooker headers were a slip tube....The pipes they went into had a small wedge cut out and I put a clamp on the outside to secure them. Never rusted solid or anything.
That point makes alot of sense. They were basically drag-race only headers. I got them from a guy who has an 88 Tbird drag car that he got from someone in Boston. Seemed like a long ways away. His Cleveland is upwards of 675 hp. He gave me his times, but I forget off hand. He's at either Brainerd or Eau Clair raceways every weekend. Anywho, he set back his engine 3-4" and the headers no longer cleared.
