Well building my first bogger with a sbc with some work done to it. well for one i would like to know the pros and cons? and the best place to purchase them from? also what exactly do they call them? upside down headers? lol
Uprights and Dec.com
FOWARD OFFSET TRUCK PULL HEADERS " supposed to make it so u dont have to loose brake booseter or have issues with ur steering" SCHOEINFEILD.COM
Get zoomies. They work GREAT with supercharged applications.
dec headers is where i got mine, have them special make the forward offset more forward. i had to get rid of my booster cause they were still right next to my master cyl
thanks guys! im looking into maybe buying some from shoendfeld headers and i see they say with evac or standard? not to sure what to go with, and not exactly sure what they mean. Also what size did you guys go with? tube diameter, collector Dia./lenght? thanks again guys!
Diameter primary all depends on what size engine, how big the exhaust ports on the heads are, and a pro to the uprights are that you don't have to worry about sucking water into your engine if you are submerged in some water
ya want the evac it takes care of the extra pressure in the crank case
PROS- pure awesomeness
CONS- hearing damage/permanent loss.
Uprights are sweet, mine are zoomies 2" with 3 1/2 collector had to loose the brk booster though.
Pros. Cons.
Sound. Loud to tune engine
Loud. Harder to open hood when close cut
Out of water
Looks

they arent considered zoomies if they have a collector

The pros seem to out weigh the cons. Permanent hearing loss seems like a small price to pay to be awesome!
There are no down sides to uprights!
There is a con but only for some applicatioins, one problem is clearance issues with break booster, stearing parts and frame clearance but other than that uprights are pretty sweet
there is no sweeter sound than a motor at 7000rpm with uprights...o wait there's 8000+
Just to be different, I ran my headers upside down and ran a short piece of exhaust pipe out between the headlight and wheel well. It sounds good and the exhaust sprays mud and water out to the sides when ur in the hole. I'm doing it again on the new build.
