My engine builder keeps telling me I should run headers on my car to increase power, mileage, blah, blah, blah.
Increasing power and mileage is certainly important to me but I want the car to sound mature and sophisticated rather than loud and hollow (Personality analogy unintended) so I am not looking for absolute power. I also won't be doing any stop-light racing or even taking the engine over 5000rpm.
I see 4 basic options for headers/exhaust manifolds:
Hi-Po exhaust manifolds
Tri-Y headers
Shorty headers
Long tube / Full length headers
My initial idea is to run shorty headers into my existing 2 1/2" system which consists of Magnaflow mufflers and an X-pipe.
Does anyone know the pros and cons for those options?
Thanks
