  • Are these headers a good buy?

    from eBay Australia $250

    Not sure if I actually need or would benefit much from them, would they do much for a 1.3 carb festy?

    looks exactly like the B6 headers FMS was selling.... WAY too big for a stock B3.

    have them send you the primary tube diameter and get back to us.
    Trees aren't kind to me...

    currently: 2 88Ls (Scrappy and Jersey), 88LX, 90L(Pepe), 91L, 91GL (Skippy) 93 GL Sport (the Mighty Favakk), 94 (Bruce) & 95 Aspire SEs, 97 Aspire (The Joker),
    94 Justy 4WD, 87 Fiero GT, plus 2 parts cars. That's my fleet.

        ^ ok sorry just focused on the pix, in either case, the primaries are still too big for a stock B3.

        if you want to help the exhaust, find a first gen B6 manifold and install it.

          i didnt feel that much of a torque loss (if any...) from the stock manifold going to the header i made... it had 1.5 inch pipes on it and it went to a 2.5 inch pipe... way to big i know but once you got up a bit in rpm it was fine... and if your wanting more power chances are you dont drive it nice anyways... just done lug the motor around everywhere and you will be fine... rev it up and have some fun lol...

            Get them. If they are too big, you have a perfect excuse to change the camshaft for some deep breathing. If you are air/fuel starved, then check the yards for some twin laser carbies.
