Header ?

Hello I have a 79 1/2 ton with the 351m and I was on ebay and saw some Thrush headers for sale for 96 bucks. They have a 3 inch collector and a 1 5/8 tube. Just wondering if anybody used these before. Thanks

never used thrush b4 but the larger primaries might kill alittle low end torque though. other wise sounds like a good buy

Yeah 3 inch is kind of big I would proably want some 2.5 inch. Maybe the muffler shop can go from 3 inch down to like 2.5 inch when they build my exhaust?

normally headers come with reducers to go from 3 down to 2.5 or 2.25, you can buy them cheap.

Were those inside the frame or fenderwell exit? I think I saw them on ebay when I was looking for a set but I bought a set of hedman fenderwell exit ones for $155 including shipping,mounting hard ware, gaskets, and a set of stainless steel tips. I cant wait till I get them and my flat top pistons

make sure you get a real good set of gaskets, both header and collector.

Go with copper on the collector, paper ones don't last very long.
