For those of you with strokers whos headers are you running? Wildhorse has some that are 1 1/2 inch but I would much rather have 1 5/8 which is an 18% increase in cross sectional area Anybody have a set that works great in a bronco? I guess another important this is having an EGR and AIR hookups. Pennsylvania is cracking down and these parts need to be VISIBLE (no actual tests as of yet for my county). The EGR is the important one since the heads or intake dont have it. Worse case I can have a hookup made most likely but I want to get ceramic coated headers if possible and that would ruin it if I had to make a connection.

i got some from summit, hooker or hedman i cant remember, better price than bronco specific stores too, my motor is pretty built and im real happy with them, but you need to strip off the regular spray paint and use header paint, mine burned off in like 5 min and now look bad

I'm going to use FC3 from Sanderson Headers, but then again I'll have a pair of aussie 351C heads on my 393W.

I'm running an SVO 392 stroker motor. I have The DUFF'S ceramic coated headers and they work perfect. Miss all the frame components and the starter. No leaks and the flange rings rotate to allow your collector bolts to clock anyway you want. Best of all -- no complications on install. Fit great the first time bolted up to the heads. Just make sure to use anti-seize compound if installing on aluminum heads.
