Default Re: Headers-Sidepipes

As well as the S-bend pipe Motion also tapped into the side of the collector...you will get a power drop like with the s-pipe but then you can have the option of an open header design which can be uncorked by removing the cover off the collector or using a remotely operated flapper.

Another thing I had thought about was using block hugger headers...never tried it so don't know if it will work.

-----I dont know weather they would fit this chassis but Hooker used to make side-pipe headers for mid-year Corvettes. They looked a lot like block-huggers but the collector angled out towards the side-pipe. I also dont know if they make them anymore, but there are probably sets out there......Bill S

You might also check out big block headers for 58-64 full size Chevy since some of those exited to the side also.
