header collector type

[The O.G.]

i am looking around for a set of longtubes

the only headers i have used were always ball socket type

what are those old school gasket three bolt collectors like

anyone like that design better?

I think the only one with that type is blackvert, I have them on my cutouts though They seal really well.

Well Now

Since it was YOU that brought this subject to the forefront

I'll let you in on something I've suspected for many years now but ....
I've kinda been keeping it to myself

Lets just keep this between you and me
so
Don't tell all those other 94-95 guys ......... OK

I gotta believe the ball & socket flows less than the old school collector

I still don't understand why people think the ball/socket flows less....? On my old MAC headers with a 3" collector, the opening on the ball side was 3 1/4"...so I doubt it was a restriction. The ball/socket flows great and doesn't leak.

SOME have issues with those ball socket joints fitting poorly and leak

iv had leaking and non leaking ball socket type
