Post by: reefreshd_jive on December 08, 2004, 10:24:49 PM

interested in knowing what exhaust this is, and whether it can be bought here!

i found the exhaust, it says i cant run it with my oil filter, i think i might go to a remote oil filter. i would like this exhaust for the clearance, it doesnt hang down like a regular header!

If you have any sort of performance type motor I would suggest that you not run that set up. It is way too restrictive

i am only running a 1641, with 044 heads. i am thinking of taking my car lower, so it will be down 3 innner notches, so i am just looking to get rid of my header...but if i have to i can just stay with it, and just scrape it all over the place.

i believe regular valved i could be wrong. i know that when my cousin and i built the motor, he told that i should run 96octane. he said my compression rate is really high.
 i just went looking through all of my receipts. and the receipt doesnt say what style of head they are. i will pop off my valve covers tonight, and see if i have 044's for sure, and whether they are big valves or not. how much bigger will the large ones look?

96 octane??? Chevron sells 94, haven't seen 96 at the pump. What's the CR? I run 10:1 on 94 without detonation.

You can't tell by looking at the rocker side if you have bigger valves (that I am aware of) you would need to pull the head to tell. Where did you buy the heads from, they might have record of your purchase. The reason I'm asking is if you are running a larger valve with a small restrictive exhaust (like the one in the picture) you run the risk of running the engine hot and cooking something.

sorry my mistake, i meant 94...oops..i am going to have to rethink my exhaust again. i have been told that the exhaust isnt that great, so i am not going to go with it. when i pull my motor apart the next coming weeks i will look to see what heads, and valves i have.
still have lots of time to figure it all out
