Default What type of headers?

Right now my 92 GT engine is stock. Im looking to add a set of headers to my off road h-pipe and mac catback. With all the different types and kinds. Ive been looking at hooker headers, MAC, and few others. Now the ? is, who do i go with and do i go with short, equal or long tubes?

My opinion is go with the Long Tubes and get them coated. It doesn't really matter who you go with just really matters on the price you want. Some good brands are Mac, BBK, Hooker ect.

hey, lets focus on the subject at hand!!!! i have ceramic coated equal length shorties, and they're nice, but it makes working on your spark plugs very dif. i would probably recommend long tubes

Does anyone know of "HTS" coating by MAC long tube headers? Is that ceramic coating? If not, is that better or worse than ceramic coating?

Go with bbk equal legnth headers, ur car will pull alot better then it did, it will add about 20 rwhp, and ur exhaust will get a lil louder. There the way to go

I think mac is alil better than bbk...I would buy a set of used headers and have them coated they'll look new and will save you some $$$$ unless you have alot of mods I would go with a reg. set. I have the equal length headers there great but a lil hard to install and to change plugs but how often is that once a year I made a tool and it take about the same amount of time. the long tube leak and scrap on lowered car heat up your interior and you have to cut your pipes. and taking out the starter is a real chore..good luck on your choice
