Lots of threads on Headers, but how about one more quick one!

Everyone hit the nail on the head head and the posts are a GREAT testament to some of the pit falls of fender well headers.

It is very true that the style of header (pipe routing) isn't the tell tale sign of making big power, but, more on the combo and tuner of the combo.

Fender well headers we're developed due to the lack of space in cars like the early A bodies. Other examples can be seen in larger engine bay cars BUT you also have to look at the pipe diameter sizes used. While I can not explain every issue and reason of fender well headers away, they do not denote instant mega power.

TTI are full length headers and Schumacher are tri y headers of medium length which still make very good power. Ether are an excellent header for useage.

The bennifit in going to a fenderwell header is (or should be) a larger diameter primary pipe size that is to big to sanely use under chassis. Fitment issues come into play. Then when you fit them, you can not remove the starter or change plugs very ez.
