Johnny, love the attitude
But every nut and bolt that you do wrench on will be a bit more tedious to deal with.Btw, your handle wouldn't happen to be influenced by the robot Johnny 5, would it?

thinking of installing clifford headers on my 77 volare 2 dr w supersix.Otherwise stock. What do you think the outcome would be?performance gain? Or will I lose any low end power? Waste of time and money or do I get the green light from all my /6 buddies ?? |

I went from a stock exhaust manifold / exhaust system to clifford dual headers joined in a y pipe to a dynomax superturbo muffler with 2 1/4" pipe throughout. I sure noticed a difference.... Word to the wise about headers though, they will make working in the engine bay a bit more of a challenge because you have to be careful not to scratch them. Also, your carb/efi/fuelsystem must be in good tune because running too rich or lean will cause excessive exhaust gas temps and roast the coating on them. If I were to do this all over again I would shoot for dutra duals or dual duals instead. Lots less hassle/headache. If I ever get the cash together I'll get rid of my clifford headers and go for dual duals. |

Dual duals are where you use Doug's front casting for the rear as well instead of a modified stock manifold. I believe pictures of this are detailed in his article (located in the articles link off of slantsix.org) |

Dutra Duals sound great, but I don't have the money for them. Hopefully by the time I get my engine running well enough to make the cost of the Duals worth it they'll still be around, right now forking over the money required makes no sense when I have things like throttle issues to figure out(and the stupid carb has been played with). |

nothing sounds meaner than a slant six with headers and dual exhaust, not even a hemi!
