Thinking about throwing a set of headers on my inline six and tossing a Flomaster on the other end. Worth the money and trouble?

 

Thread moved to "Inline Six, 200, 250, 4.9/300" forum.

 

I just got done installing headers on my 84 F150 4wd with the 300 six. It was a lot of work fabricating and getting the exhaust to fit properly underneath the truck, but it is completely worth it in the end. I have a Flowmaster muffler on my truck currently, it sounded good with the EFI manifolds but sounds kinda ricey with headers. I plan on going to either a Dynomax or Magnaflow to take the raspy sound out of it. If you're lookin for power, you'll find it with headers. I got mine from Jegs for $160!

 

is there anything special about headers for a 93 efi engine?

 

You have to grind/cut on a bracket before they'll fit, IMO unless you are building the entire motor up, it's not worth the time and money if you already have EFI manifolds.

 

Pkupman82, I know you have to fab in the O2 sensor, but what about the smog pump deal? Im pretty sure its a smog pump, it plugs into the efi manifolds right before the 3 goes into 1. Im pretty set on getting hooker super comps.

 

It's for the EGR if I remember right. You have to add/weld in a bung and extend the pipe.

 

ohh, thanks. Well, thats one more thing on my "gonna have to do" list.

 

My six is carbureted and DE smogged so no O2 sensors here. You could put one in the collector I would suppose.

 

Yea I planned on getting a collector from Jegs, it comes with a O2 sensor port, but i still have the EGR to worry about.
