the fastburns don't require unique headers. Any shorty headers designed for a thirdgen will fit.

I have a set of FastBurns (not yet mounted on my 409-400 plus .040) and a set of 1-3/4" SLPs (already on my '88 GTA).

The SLPs are not truely 1-3/4". Measured across the flange opening they are 1-3/8" (although the tubes are 1-3/4"). I will be spending some time "porting" my headers to fit my heads when I get ready to put the combo in the car.

True, the FastBurns are D-Port. And if you slap on most any header without checking the opening, you will have your exhaust coming out the port and running into a wall. Not good.

Yea, any header made for a third gen should work! In fact, I have some headman ceramic coated shorty's (1 5/8") for sale. $200 neg + shipping. Pm me if interested!

I don’t know what to do I have a set a hooker long tubes ceramic coated but will that work. I had them installed but the headers were hitting the frame and I would have to relocate my knock sensor. And if I get shorties would I have to port them to size because I want it as free flowing as possible because that’s why I have headers in the first place right.

That's the first time I've ever heard of SLP headers being small on the inside like that. Both my 1 5/8" and my 1 3/4" are just fine.

I'm a stickler on such details. The flange openings were considerably smaller than the actual inside tube diameter.

When I swapped from the Edelbrocks to the SLPs, I seemed to gain little, if anything on my 5.7 '88 GTA. Of course, I had ported the flanges of the Edelbrocks by grinding out their poor excuses for welds.

My ported-flange Edelbrocks were actually larger at the opening than the non-ported SLPs I have on now. Tubes, of course, were smaller on the Edelbrocks.

However, the SLPs will be a match for the FastBurns when I get finished with them.

I can't stand giving away "free" horsepower. Just picky, I guess.

any shorty headers for a sbc should fit!

No, you need 3rd gen specific headers. Generic shorties won't make it past the subframe.
