summit shortys?

[KramerSwinger70]

after a little exhaust discussion with a buddy, he directed me to the following link for headers for my 360. i dont know much about summit and if this pasrticular item is worth the $300 tag.

any tips? my 360 is complete minus exhaust manifolds/headers and carb so im trying to start bringin parts together for when i rebuild it and these shortys look like a good deal and wont scrape

I would look in to a set of Dougs my self. They are a long tube header that don't hang low and wont scrap but I think are around 600 or so.

are there any performance gains to be had with long tube or mid range as oppose to shortys?

I believe the shorty headers in question have interference issues with the steering column in an A-body.

The long tubes will genrely make more power over all and more TQ and a lot more TQ down low. I would only run a shorty if there was not enough room for a full length header and we have that with the Dougs or TTI's. But thats just me.

thats could be an oproblem i spoze! haha man i hate how difficult it is to just buy a part and have it fit properly. o well, any other suggestions? im open to any kind of good quality header or maniolfd for this project. i just want the car to run as well as it can, and headers do that job.

found dougs header on summit. (roughly) $700 for natural, $800 for ceramic coating. is the ceramic coatin worth it?

just went to the dougs header site. looks like for my application, "tri-Y" headers are what i need for this build. idle to 4500 rpm TQ and max fuel economy. definatly what i need!
