Edelbrock Headers? Anyone w/ Experience?

[Walshyboy1220]

Hey guys,

When I picked up my 06 GT couple months ago, the guy told me he put on Edelbrock Headers, I asked why he didnt do long tubes, well he said he needed to pass emission and still get power. Understandable since you can still use the stock Cat Pipe

Well what I wanted to know does anybody have any experience with these? I dont feel like doing a header swap if I dont have to because of the tranny getting in the way as well as putting about 800 + labor more in to getting new ones installed

If anyone has these did they see any power increase, or is this just strict exhaust not only?

Heres a link for anyone wondering

i have no personal experience with these or any other shorties on a S197.
but i haven't heard of any shorties getting any significant performance gains.

Unless your going turbo or have money to burn shorties are useless no matter the brand.

people who say shorties are useless, have never had them. shorties have a tendancy to not have high dyno numbers but have proven to gain 18whp in some parts of the powerband. i have seen it first hand.

i got a pair of shortys for xmas and cant wait to install them

^ Thank you GIG, I didnt not know where to post it. I assumed tech because it was about parts but was mistaken. But I look forward to dyno results!

The Edelbrock shorties came with the car when I bought it. There only 1 5/8, not 3/4. Is there a big difference there?

I had shorties on my '07. From my experience in order to get a noticeable amount of power from them you must run a high flow or an off road x-pipe with a tune designed for it or you will lose a lot on the low end. I've been down that road. I've also never ran across a 1 3/4" shortie. Many LT's are 1 5/8" too.

these Macs are advertised 1 3/4", but on the Mac website i can't find it in 1 3/4.
not sure if the links above are actually 1 3/4.
