And a good system behind that. boB, The scavenging long tubes promote will be of little use for a blown engine. A blower makes the motor more of a push system, does it not? In this case, money would be better spent on a nice set of ceramic- coated shorties to help keep heat out of the engine compartment and away from the blower. Patrick |

I have FMS ceramic coated shorties on my blown Mustang and I NEVER wish for long tubes as I'm driving cautiously down the road. :-) P.S.Don't LT's create a ground clearance issue? |

I have a set of the ceramic FRPP shorty headers that I have been very pleased with. The ceramic coating will keep a good bit of heat out of the engine bay which never hurts for a blown engine and it looks good too. Also, the FRPP headers are very reasonably priced. |
