Title: Headers, different exhaust tones??
Post by: 1981 ss chevy on December 12, 2009, 08:35:56 pm

can headers make your exhaust sound better, or will factory manifolds give you the same tone, im thinking about putting headers on my 81 c10 silverado 350 bone stock, any suggestions?

i'll still need a reducer of some sort though right cuz stock size is like only what 2 and 1/4 or 2 and 1/2 and the flanges arent the same either right?
