Do you guys know if Ram Horn headers would work on a '58 Fairlane??? Are they better than stock headers???

Rams horns won't work in a passenger car.  The exhaust dumps on the crossmember under the engine mounts.

Thanks John. Has anyone used the headers from Obsolete & Classic Auto Parts? Part #B5A-9430/1-YBLK. They have 'Big Tubed Y-Block Headers' listed but no pic. I contacted them & they said they did'nt have any laying around that they can take a photo of to send me. Just curious.

 In a recent Y-Block issue, Jerry Christenson was planning on making a set of headers available....kinda like the Red's style, but better....don't know how that project is going....might be worth checking out.   Barry L

I know you can still pick up a set of fenderwell headers, but it seems there would be a market for some long tube headers that fit within the chassis for '54 to '62 street drivers. I have both a set of Rodworks and a set of Red's that I don't think are much better performance-wise than the stock '57 manifolds, except for the weight savings.

What about the Red's fenderwell headers? Do they have a performance advantage over the stock manifolds? & Do they fit a '58 Fairlane?
