    This may have been discussed before but has anyone ever tried using Hipo manifolds instead of headers? I mean for an engine that is only about two steps above stock and if they have did they fit ok? Thanks for any input.:hmmm:

    A magazine done a test on some of those a while back(Mustangs & Fords I think).The HiPos were worth almost nothing over regular manifolds.Just run a good 2.25" dual system,plenty for "2 steps over stock".
