Header flow test or comparison

Hey all
Does anyone happen to have a flow test or a comparison for headers? I saw the one on the mufflers, but im trying to find one for headers. I want to know which ones offer the best torque and hp. Or if you guys just know from experience that will help too
Thanks
Danny

Header flow test or comparison

Most shortie headers will make the same power. Most use the same primary tube sizes, as well as a 3" collector. Long tube headers will create much more low end torque, but will force you to fabricate a custom Y pipe. Equal length shorty headers (not all are these) are youre best bet for ease of installation, as well as all around hp and trq. increases. For most people, it comes down to what kind of money they are willing to spend. I have a set of Bassani ceramic coated, equal length shortie headers on my 96 Bronco and I love them.
