Subject: Edelbrock headers
IP: Logged

Message:
Has anyone installed the Edelbrock headers on their 5.2/5.9L 96-up Dakota? I found these at Summit's web site and they look quality. They don't look quite as good as JBA, but the look better than Gibsons and they are only $313.00. They are chrome plated on top of being 16ga stainless steel. I thought that was a good price for stainless, much less chrome plated stainless.
Has anyone used these? If so, are you happy with them? Anyone with HP figures?

I've got a set of the Ceramic coated ones on my 99 r/t and am very happy with them.

Ceramic Coated EdelBrock? Do you have a part#? The Summit online parts catalog doesn't show ceramics. The part# for the Chromed Stainles is EDL-6564.I'm sure the ceramics would be at least $100.00 more. Do the ceramic coated ones have Stainless tubing? Hedman's Ceramic Coated (HTC) headers are mild steel. Also, I made a missprint on the gauge. The Edelbrocks stainless chrome plated headers are 17ga. The Gibson chrome plated headers are 14ga. They are only $50.00 more than the Edelbrocks. They aren't stainless. Their stainless headers are 16ga, but their not chrome plated and they are $100.00 higher than Edelbrock.
The Edelbrock just looks like it would make more HP than the Gibsons. The primary tube lengths on the Edelbrock looks longer and better matched than Gibson.
