Default Best brand of Headers

The only brand of headers that I have seen is MAC with the 1 3/4" unequal length headers. What is the best brand to buy headers that are 1 3/4"? Its a 1990 5.0 LX

I have BBK headers on my 94 - dont know if they make them for the Fox, I'm assuming they do, but I havent had any problems with them at all.

See if you can get them by Doug Throley... good stuff but geared more toward high perf. muscle cars form the 60s/70s

depends on the motor setup. a stock or near stock motor doenst need 1 3/4 and will actually hurt performance some...stick with 1 5/8s and i would go shorties for now......this is with thinking its still a smallCI motor thats near stock

if you had a larger motor like 347 with a lot of lift or a 351 and larger that was producing power above 400hp then i would step to to 1 3/4
