I've seen some headers saying they have 1 5/8" runners... is that size a good one? bit OT, anyone know any headers that are tried + true for our cars? Chris

Since i have ambitions of passing smog as well as it not being nice for the environment i was gonna toss a high flow cat after the long headers. any options on that? HP race headers Chris
