Hello, I just recently installed a 350 tune port engine into a 1986 Camaro that originally had a 305 in it. I'm wondering what would be the best type of headers to install without breaking the bank. Any links or info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

Pacesetters is a good place to start. And they come ceramic coated and such. Decent HP increases from them as well.

 

do not get long tube headers you will be sorry,any good shorty is good,personaly i like hooker competions.but hedmonds are good ,you get what you pay for.friend of mine didnt heed warnings went with long tube headers within 2 weeks pounded flat 1 month leaking 2 months garbage,imho

 

i would advise against hedman headers. i bought a set of their shorty headers and y-pipe combo. terrible fitment. i had to weld extentions to the y-pipe for it to reach the collectors, and the primary tubes rub on the frame and nearby parts

 

What do you have on yours microkid?

 

my hedmans are in with no fitment issues at all. Shortys and y pipe. I have an 89

It's funny how some have issues with brand x while others don't

 

i have theses headers http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-68470/ and this y-pipe http://www.summitracing.com/parts/HED-17478/ the collectors were 2 inches too short on the y-pipe to clear the frame and oil pan. i had to cut them off and weld in some extentions. the passenger side primary tubes rub against the frame rail and steel heater lines and fender brace. the y-pipe also rubs the frame rail while also is pointed at a downward angle

 

i to have an 86 iroc,i have installed an 350 with 484 lift cam,victor jr manifold .750 vac carb,hooker comp headers bolted right in no issues,last year built a 85 z-28 with about same engine but newer with roller motor,and used hedman headers with no issues as well very happy with both.would have used hedman again but got hookers for a real good deal,

 

yup

and on my 4th gen, some have bad incidents with Pacesetters and mine fit fine.

Who knows why there are differences, but so far

Hedmans on my 3rd gen are fine, pacesetters on the 4th are fine
