Re: Tuned Headers??
equal length runners, and they make more power... but, unless you're chasing power they aren't needed.

Re: Tuned Headers??
Just all the tubes are made equal lengths. Non tunned headers are usually made with the tubes within 4-6 inches of eachother at least the nicer ones are.

Re: Tuned Headers??
The best thing to think about is to purchase quality set of headers, so that you get what you pay for. I put a set of Cyclone headers on my 84 GMC years ago that had the ceramic coating on them. That was the best thing that I did. I eliminated the rusty looking headers and they have not failed me yet.

Re: Tuned Headers??
I have been using Hedman Elites for the last few sets due to the thicker flange and the overall quality. Very pleased with them. Tuned headers are a must for a performance engine but few are built to the level that will truely benefit from them, most exhaust systems negate any advantage they offer.
