just a quastion about superchargers.
if i already got a exahust system with headers, and i want to install a super charger, will it be ok or what? i mean the super charger will work great with theme or it will work great with a stock engine.

The supercharger will love the exhaust system that you have. I did it backwards, I did the supercharger first and then the headers and let me tell you there is a huge improvement, you can hear the exhaust rushing through the headers!:rocker:

Here's a pic of the stock manifold, you can see how restricted it is. The first 3exhaust runners share the same path which hurts your performance. With a supercharger you are stuffing a lot of extra air into the cylinders so you need the headers to get rid of all the extra air! Call Tom at TBYRNE Performance for your supercharger needs.

100% agree with 08 Stoned Charger- I rode and drove his both ways.
It's the difference between being pushed in the seat hard and being SLAMMED into the seat when you put your foot in it:rocker::rocker:

Not that I have an SC on my ride (....ahem, yet). But, I did take pics of the stock manifolds VS. the LT's I swapped out. Here's a few extra shots to look at, hopefully you'll get the point between the difference of the two.

quik question? what brand of headers are those? and wouldnt it make more since if the section of pipe that mates to the flange was squared instead of round? just seems right to me but i could be wrong

You know, I couldn't exactly recall why the holes on the LT headers were/are circular VS. the stock square design. I even had to go scroll back through my pics and look at the block post stock removal, pre-install LT headers to double check (refer to the pic below).

For the record, mine are Dynatech's. Why their designs are different, IDK.
