Is ceramic coated that big of a deal? Because here is the exact same thing but just black for 1/2 of the price... http://store.summitracing.com/defau...=100&Ntk=PartSearch&Ntt=HOK-6901HKR&x=19&y=10
I have FlowTechs, made by Holley. They are in Summitt, and are about $100. Had them on for almost 5yrs, no leaks or rust thru...as of yet.
I was running some generic JCWhitney headers that my mom had on her falcon years before. They fit pretty well and never leaked. Sorry I cant say exactly what part number or manufacturer. AC
pcguy,the hooker 6901's,fit so good,ford should have put them on at the factory!don't waste the x-tra money on the ceramic coating.
Now they say for offroad use or raceing... would they still be OK to use on street? Also exactelly how big of a boost should I see from performance headers like these? I was hopeing I would have the money to build a dual exhaust system with dual flowmasters...
You will see between 1 and 5 HP most likely. With a full exhaust, you MAY see around 8-10HP. This is on a stock engine. Of course if you have a built badass motor and your going from manifolds to headers you will see a significant jump in HP. (though having a built badass motor with manifolds isnt likely to begin with) AC EDIT: As far as off road use, dont sweat it they will be fine. They say that for legal reasons involving smog and whatnot.
Humm I need to find the year cut off for Illinois Emissions Testing and Max DB Rateing.... don't most mavs have no catty coverter?
Cats started in 75,,, no smog cops my way here in IL. Is there any topic more questioned than the header one? Think this should be a sticky so people can study it immediately. Dan
The emission cutoff for No Testing is 1967 PCGUY, no maverick makes that. I think it's pre-1979 that gets the exhaust only tests, and newer get the dyno tests.
