Default Re: Flat collectors

This all originates from the situation of having a friend needing a set of headers for his 85 Bird ( small Chevy ).

He has a nice 400 ( Brodix cnc'd , 14-1 comp , Tim Cole put together some cam lobes for me ) just a decent combo. I "THINK" with this engine and a car that weighs in the neighborhood of 2700 lbs , 9.30s to 9.50s will be no problem. I did the engine so I know its a nice combo .

However , for what he's doing with it Stahl , Lemons etc etc were a little pricey..............so he opted for the Hedmans ( Hustlers )......all they had in an 1 7/8 was a "flat collector" deal , for his car.

I know they are less popular , but I have no idea what the "adverse" effects could be.
