    that's what i'm looking at. 3" hooker headers into a reducer and to a 2.5" flowmaster exhaust. can anyone think of something that'll give me more bang for the buck? has anyone used either one of these? i'm a little bit leary of anything that is supposed to fit many different cars/engines, which is why i want to make sure i don't end up with a jumbled mess of pipes, or tons of stuff to relocate to make room.

    ed: links'll need pasting, board messed 'em up a tad.

    I don't think thoose are the headers you want. the application only list buick regal 78-87 with chevy motors.

    The exhuast you have there is want you want. That's what I have and it went up perfect. Just do make sure you put the pipes up in the order that the instuctions say, or it will be a pain the but...
    It's sounds great and made a good power difference. I kept my stock manifolds, and used TA perf. downpipes to connect the manifolds to the system designed for headers.

    hm, i know other guys have used hooker comps, and those are the only set on their that mention a 350.

    anyone have an answer as to which ones i need?

    Darryl Roederer Life is good

    Dont use those headers!!!!!

    David-
    The set you are looking at are for a small block chevrolet V8 engine in a 78-87 Regal. [same body as a monte carlo]

    The part you want is for a *BUICK* 350. Hooker part number 1103.

    The exhaust you have picked out will work just fine... But unfortunately, the correct buick headers cost just about double what the chevy headers cost.

    Look here to see the correct set:

    my wallet just got punched in the face.

    i might just hace to go with the downpipes and some sprucing up for my old manifolds.

    just to let ya know the TA downpipes are $120 for the pair.

    i saw 99 on their price list i think.

    exactly how big are the downpipes? looking at my stock exhaust/mainfolds and the flowmaster exhaust, they look like could match up with a little work?

    anyone know of any other people that make headers for buicks? sheesh, i just wanted to plop down some money for a few steel tubes and i find out i can't get them for under a few hundred dollars.

    JC whitney has dual exhuast kit. I *think* it was like $100, I don't think that that included mufflers.
    TA perf may have lowered the price on the downpipes.
    The downpipes are around 3 feet long, maybe less, I think 2 1/2 diameter... If you have stock single exhuast you can probabally chop up the Y pipe to connect to the exhuast. If you have factory duals, you should be able to make it connect no problem.
