Re: Edel Brock Headers

They are OK if you can't, or don't want to, do longtubes..
I have them.. bought a used set. Gained .2-.25 sec and 2+ mph in qtr thru stock catback.. added Borla.. gained nothing with that[still trying to figure out why ..]
We have strict emissions here, and I don't really want longtubes..
Install wasn't that bad, quality was good.. no leaks etc..

I'll second that. I ran a set on my 93 for quite a few years. Plug access was horrible!!!

Re: Edel Brock Headers

I dissagree. I'd say that they are much worse than stock.

Re: Edel Brock Headers

I went to a friend's place with a lift, and put them on. We spent longer screwing with the plugs than anything else - access is terrible.

Then, I drove home and took them off without the lift (that should tell you how much I hated them). I put 15 miles on them and already HATED them. I'm ordering something else today and putting them on next weekend
