Got some Headers.

Headman Headers. There is one thing that makes me mad about them though. The brackets to bolt them up to an X Pipe have 3 holes, where every other company has 2. So, I wanted to buy a BBK X Pipe, but now I will have to buy a Headman X Pipe. No big deal I guess. One good thing about Georgia is no car inspections! No Cats for me! :hick:

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Who said anything about 3"?  Primaries are most likely 1 5/8".  I have flowtech full length headers and couldn't be happier(with the power increase-they fit like shiznit).

Does Flowtech make a shorty H-pipe with the standard 3-bolt reducers? I thought they did, since they make long tube Mustang headers with 3-bolt collectors on them.

Oh, I will have to look into that. I just know that most have 2. I thought headman made their headers 3 so people would have to buy their x pipe. I could always just weld them together, but nah.
