Dan Frye Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 I discovered that my exhaust manifold has a crack at the #6 stud and I also broke all three of the large rusty studs at the flange the the exhaust. Instead of trying to get the exhaust manifold repaired, I thought about getting some MSA headers since I have about a $200 credit. I know that I will not see any extra performance with the engine stock and I don't want a very loud noise. Can anybody give me any comparisons between the 6-1 and the 3-2 headers. I will be attaching them to my stock exhaust for now. Iwas also wondering if one fit and installed better than the other. Thanks, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BluDestiny Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 The 6-2 will probably fit closer to the block, but because of the Y pipe that is comes with it would be better, IMO, to get the single 6-1. The sound depends much more on the muffler/piping. Looks into getting a stud kit and full exhaust done since its probably rusty also.

johnc Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 If you do the 6 into 1, cut off the three bolt flange and the choke that goes from 3" to 2.5". Do a slip connector/cone to get a smoother transition from 3" to 2.5". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
