You really can't go wrong with any of those headers. SMSP and Header-Tech headers have both been proven to give great gains. But for the price, I'd say Header-Tech headers are the best bang for the buck. $680 shipped compared to $1000.00+ shipped.

so each pipe can run along side one another and allow for better clearance. i've seen it done before, i'm just not sure if the smsp is that way.

You've been totally mislead.

You need to remove your block brace if you you're running one.

No "custom" stuff is needed.

You mean you need to take off the block/tranny stiffners to run one of these headers ?

I'm not sure I understand your question. I have seen B series headers and heard about him making H series headers but I think that is it. I don't think anyone makes headers for turbo applications, haha. If your referring to turbo manifolds, then he doesn't.

You can always ask him though smsproducts@adelphia.net

Actually, that's an 'import' fallacy... many domestic guys and others call a turbo manifold a 'Turbo Header'.

Same way some of us refer to a 'header' as an extractor.

if youre looking to get a header sometime soon youre out of luck if you plan on going with headertech. It will be atleast another couple of months before enzo can get around to finishing up the h22 header. I can wait though
