Other way around. Watson copied Jeal

OK, thanks GC, I also heard that Stainless works also did some deisgn "borrowing", any truth to that?

If I had my LT5 I would like to grab the Watson headers. They look very well built. Lingenfelter used thon their LT5 kits didnt they? Anyone know which LT5 package they were used on?

Re: FS Soon - Watson small tube Headers
 

I dont think so or else they would fit better. The stainless works you have to move the Dipstick tube and such which is not the case for the Jeals I am not sure on the Watsons however and suggest that Dom weighs in since he installed his a couple of years back. This dipstick move prompted Jerry to make the dipstick seal a few years ago because as your well know once moved these tend to be dry rotted and fall into the pan. I would highly suggest picking up these Watsons if Dom tells you no dipstick tube removal was required. GC

Re: FS Soon - Watson small tube Headers
 

my understanding was:

Jeal was first

Watson copied Jeal

SW copied Jeal

OBX I am guessing copied SW or Jeal

Re: FS Soon - Watson small tube Headers
 

If I was to hazard to guess OBX prob copied SW. I have yet to hear how these fit. If the Dipstick tube needs to be move yadda yadda. I am waiting to hear somebodies thoughts on the OBX headers that has recently installed them on their car.

Re: FS Soon - Watson small tube Headers
 

Does anyone have any thoughts on how well these small tube units will work with a 402 that makes a little over 600 hp? I need headers to go with the 402 I'm bying from Kevin but assume (yeah, I know what that means) I need bigger tube headers.

Thanks.

Re: FS Soon - Watson small tube Headers
 

Go bigger.

Re: FS Soon - Watson small tube Headers
 

What exhaust sytem are you going with 3 inch? If so then yes go bigger. If not these will be fine. GC

Re: FS Soon - Watson small tube Headers
 

Thanks GC and Jeff, these I really like them.
