Hey is it worth anything to put headers on a stroker? would they be a pain with the leak issue?

a guy on the idaho site made a good point to think about, and that is they reduce the velocity of the exhaust gas and make turbo spool up slower?? dunno

They would be an upgrade but probably not worth the time nor the money.

actually that guy was mistaken... headers if designed correctly serve a very good purpose.

increase hp... either by means of increaseing velocity in the exhaust or increasin total volume flowed (larger diam.) etc... make sense?
