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!

BAD APPLE · February 23, 2012, 04:41:36 AM

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

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!

BAD APPLE · February 25, 2012, 05:40:28 PM

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
